This Urban Extension Tour will visit Old North - St. Louis County, highlights a community food project in Old North St. Louis where MU Extension is one of several groups that have worked to open a grocery cooperative in a neighborhood that is considered a food desert. The opening of a community-run grocery store was only one part of a comprehensive strategy developed to close the food gap in Old North St. Louis and surrounding neighborhoods. A five-part strategy was developed together in order to “green” this food desert by: (1) expanding the relatively new North City Farmer’s Market; (2) cultivating the 13th Street Community Garden; (3) establishing a CSA (Community Sup-ported Agriculture) program; (4) opening a grocery co-op; and (5) providing educational opportunities for community residents.
