Hughes Farmer's Market

Residents of Hughes, Arkansas, gathered for a farmer's market on Saturday, November 17, 2012. Members of the Hughes community live in a food desert, meaning they don't have easy access to a grocery store. Many of the farmers selling produce at the farmer's market are part of Heifer's domestic project, which works in the Delta and Appalachia regions of the United States to bring healthy, sustainable food to communities and connect smallholder farmers with local markets. Meredith Rolf, project manager for strategic initiatives, shares how Heifer farmers are changing their lives for the better.
