Our team is using the Produce Path app to expand communication campaigns for fruit and vegetable incentive programs at Cuyahoga County farmers markets offering Produce Perks. We identified the following target areas in Cuyahoga County for Produce Path dissemination based on high rates of food insecurity and high percentage of residents identify as Black/African American and/or Hispanic/Latino/a/e.
We collaborated with the following farmers markets in 2024:
-
Gateway 105 Farmers Market – Glenville neighborhood
-
Kamm’s Corners Farmers Market – Kamm’s Corners neighborhood
-
La Marketa (Cleveland Fresh Farmers Market) – Clark-Fulton neighborhood
-
North Union Farmers Market – Cleveland Clinic Main Campus & University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center at Lakeside
-
Tremont Farmer’s Market – Tremont neighborhood
Each of these markets has a profile in the Produce Path app and provided weekly updates on the vendors and products available. Our team will set up a table at each market at least once this season to show customers how to use the app.
