Food Access in Brooklyn Center

11819
"In your neighborhood in Brooklyn Center, what kind of food do you have a lot of and what kind of food do you not have enough of?"
"we have a couple of delis around the city. It's just more of a Cub Foods and Aldi's kind of thing. I don't see anything else except those things, but there are some small businesses that I see, that are really small, really, really small. Yeah."
"If there was one way of improving food access in your neighborhood what would you do?"
"Well, I'm not too sure about that. Mostly everyone in my neighborhood would go to Cub Foods or Aldi's because it's close by, but I have been seeing a lot of farmers markets in those little strip malls that I've been driving next to. It feels like a lot of the smaller businesses are going there and just providing those produce for the people around."
"Do you frequent he farmers markets?"
"Mostly just the one underneath the bridge off of 94. Yeah, that one."
"The one in Minneapolis?"
"Yes, that one."
