@zephzoid: Corner stores in Philadelphia's Strawberry Mansion sold chips and candy but almost no fresh produce, so one couple started trucking in farm food instead. Tatiana Garcia Granados and Haile Johnston moved there in 2002 and launched The Common Market in 2008 with one truck. It now supplies local farm food to more than 500 school campuses and tops 25 million dollars a year. Support family farms near you, find them on Localize.
