StarkFresh provides a wonderful service to our community by bridging the gap so that otherwise "food deserts" are able to have access to fresh vegetables and fruits plus other foods at extremely affordable prices. The dedication that Tom and Teresa have to this community and the passion they bring to this organization is to be admired; they continually look for ways to improve and expand this organization while always taking into account the needs of the community. Thank you, Tom and Teresa!
Starkfresh is a great organization, filling a real need in the Stark County area. In addition to an urban teaching farm, they distribute fresh fruits and vegetables to seniors and those in food deserts. The energy and passion of the staff is wonderful to see!
When Thorne's closed we lost the only way to shop for fresh food. Having a StarkFresh stop near my home each week helped me be able to afford to eat healthier and get back on my diet.
The StarkFresh Veggie Mobile was a lifesaver for me and my family. Being able to afford healthy food for our family of 5 is an increasing struggle for us. Being able to have my Direction card matched so I could purchase more food with it was a godsend.
StarkFresh continues to be a leader in the local food system in Stark County, OH. Their dedication to look at the larger picture and work with others to tackle all areas of the food supply is quite impressive.
StarkFresh is doing amazing work in this community, providing access to healthy, locally-grown food to those who need it most. I'm so proud to be involved with this organization!
This organization is touching lives in big and small ways. There are great things to happen through this organization of people with minds and hearts to reach others in need of quality food resources. Way to go Stark Fresh!
The best place to get produce during the summer months without breaking the bank. Love, love, love StarkFresh.
StarkFresh leads initiatives in our community that bring fresh food and access to Stark County. Their mobile market, urban farming and extensive seed library are just a few of the projects that bring awareness and action to food insecurity. Tom and Teresa are passionate leaders that have brought a nonprofit leading change for our community.
What an excellent idea! You can tell the workers and volunteers really pour their hearts into brining food to food deserts.
I really loved the 5k Turtle Crawl.
It brought people into one of the food deserts, that they were unaware of.
I also donated a relaxation basket, that was well received.
Keep up the good work!

StarkFresh is always doing innovative things to make Canton better. They're a small team of 2 + Americorps volunteers, so their output is incredible. From their urban teaching farms to their veggie mobiles to their Better Blocks and community grocery store development, they're making real change in Stark County.

Love the veggie mobile it is great to be able to go and get fruit and veggies and know their from local farmers
Although I do not live in the area served by Stark Fresh I really believe in the mission of bringing fresh food to urban food deserts and teaching homeowners how to garden and produce fresh veggies for their families much as I do in my own raised beds. To help with the goals of Stark Fresh a group of fiber artists who raise fiber animals save wool . llama and alpaca fiber that is not up to standard for fiber processing and I take it to the Stark Fresh greenhouse location to be recycled as bedding mulch and erosion control for new gardens.
