Recently our Gregory’s Fresh Market Place team had the chance to experience how the work that we do, impacts our “extended” community. At one of the “Independent Living” facilities we serve there was one proud 95 year old women, with obvious physical challenges, being aided by her son, who was also a senior to our Farmer’s Market.
We have always been conscious of the individuals we serve directly and are reminded with each one of our visits that we are not only bringing comfort and nourishment for residents, we are also delivering some peace of mind to their families.

Not all neighborhoods have major supermarkets or access to fresh vegetables and fruits at a reasonable price. This fact had become a major challenge for many seniors, whose quality of life and health is greatly depended on eating balanced meals.
Specifically, for all of us, eating well and healthy contributes to a better immune system, higher energy and emotionally, a more positive outlook on life. For many seniors their location makes it difficult for them to enjoy these benefits.
Our regular visits to senior communities eliminates the challenges of location and mobility that seniors may face by bringing our “Fresh Market” to the facilities where they live or the senior’s centers in their neighborhoods.
We believe that this is an important and positive service. If you would like to learn more, please contact us.

Residents at Stone Creek Village have the opportunity to socialize and interact with their neighbors during our monthly farmer’s market visits.
We believe that our visits support the goals of improved quality of life and stronger communities. In addition our local volunteers and sponsors get to experience first hand what it is to “Make a Difference” in some ones life.

One of the many things that we do and believe in doing is making helpful information available to the communities we serve.
We post a sign right above our produce display with information on the specific benefits of fresh fruits and vegetables.

A very important aspect of our program is consistency. Not only do we work hard on providing the communities we serve with excellent produce, we are just as committed to maintaining a regular schedule that our seniors can count on.
“I look forward to their visits and purchasing staples, like potato or bananas, as well as other seasonal fruits and vegetables. I can buy what I can use now and not worry about food spoiling.”
