We are at the midpoint of Hunger Awareness Month and we’d like to remind you …. food accessibility is not up for negotiation, no matter the political landscape. Feeding one another is a community responsibility and an incredible privilege. Feeding one another is reciprocal care, whether you are sharing a snack, dropping off an extra serving of dinner or stocking your community fridge (see Garfield Neighborhood for some fantastic fridge opportunities). Is there anyone in your community who could use support in getting to the grocery store? Anyone who could use an extra bag of produce? Let’s get to it 🍊

Please meet our newest shopper … Mayra!!!! 👑 Mayra is the most kind therapy dog and gives littles & middles the opportunity to practice reading aloud at the library! Pretty girls love to support literacy rates 📚 (and food access, obviously) 🍊

September is Hunger Awareness Month 🍊 TBH, bringing “awareness” to one more thing feels overwhelming and at times, paralyzing. We’d love to direct your attention to your LOCAL food system this HAM. Your IRL neighbors, the kids at your school and maybe just maybe, the veggie bus that shows up at your local library 🥰 Here at Farm Express, we do not believe that fresh food is a luxury. We believe it is a right. Come shop with us Monday through Thursdays and see what it’s all about 🍊

Friends! Our local crop of certified organic, medjool dates from the one and only Desert Fruit Farms are now selling for THREE dollars a bag (half pound). These babies can be kept in the fridge and freezer. We are obsessed with these desert treasures. Desert Fruit Farms is a three generation date farm, in sunny Yuma! 🍊

This weekend was our Executive Director’s birthday weekend … we’re using this as an excuse to give you a little peek behind the scenes 🧁 Behind every single one of our mobile markets, is the heart and mind of Elyse Guidas. Her grit, tenacity and unwavering commitment to dignity and choice are the WHY behind how and what we do. She leads our team graciously, looking to care for our needs while staying committed to our communities. With every budget sheet, protocol, heat wave, economic crisis & election season, Elyse is steering the ship toward an equitable food system for ALL. Often the odds of these variables are against us. She does not push through these odds to win. Elyse pushes because it’s the right thing to do. She leads us with a soft front and an even stronger back. Help us wish our very own Elyse, the happiest birthday 🧁

Huge thanks to Fry's Food Stores for supporting our work to build a more equitable and accessible food system for all 🍊 Come hang with us Monday-Thursdays, all our routes and times can be found in our bio OR farm express . org 🍊
