Our primary focus is to get as much healthy produce onto the kitchen tables of the most possible people regardless of income.Weekly members pay at least one week in advance for either a Single Share ($15.00, or $9.00 for limited income) or a Family Share ($28.00, or $16.00 for limited income). We use the WIC Income Guidelines to determine eligibility for the limited income share option. While we strongly encourage our members to pay for multiple weeks at a time, you may choose to pay on a week-to-week basis without additional fees. http://gotthenac.org/city-fresh

On Saturday, June 15, members of the recently launched Cleveland Heights Chicken Keepers group will hold the first annual Cleveland Heights Tour de Coop.

In addition to showing off their hens and coops, participants at each stop will discuss various aspects of keeping chickens and answer general questions. The tour is split into two times frames, with half the coops open from 1 to 3 p.m. and the other half open from 3 to 5 p.m. Although there is no particular order, two homes are designated as "first stops" for each tour group and will have a supply of maps for the rest of the homes in that group. For more information please visit http://heights-chickeneers.com
