City Fresh is a nonprofit program of the New Agrarian Center (NAC) that seeks to build a more just and sustainable local food system in Northeast Ohio.
City Fresh meets the needs of both urban and rural communities by improving access to fresh, locally grown food for urban residents and increasing marketing opportunities in the city for local farmers. We are a movement of volunteers, farmers, youth and community members committed to local food and health in our community.
The City Fresh program impacts the local food system through the development of neighorhood food centers called Fresh Stops, nutrition education, garden installations in urban areas, and the cultivation of direct farm-to-business connections. We delivered over 11,000 shares in Cuyahoga County alone in 2010, directly contributing more than $130,000 to the local foods economy.
Notice to all Shareholders!
October 12, 2011
A change in our bank’s methods of administering our Cuyahoga County account has occurred.
Effective immediately, all Cuyahoga County shareholders must make checks payable to "The NAC."
Some of you may be asked to rewrite a recent check. We apologize for the inconvenience.
As you know, City Fresh is a program of the New Agrarian Center. As a program, it has no legal identity of its own. While the bank has allowed us to have checks written to the program for several years, their internal auditor and legal department have decided that an urgent change is necessary.
Again, we are sorry to trouble you with this late-season change. Thank you so much for being a part of the City Fresh family.
