US: Farm share to promote health

A new farm share system specifically designed to help families get affordable, healthy food has started in the South Bronx. This system is aptly located because the South Bronx is the poorest congressional district west of the Mississippi and has the more health problems than any other district in New York. In order to be the best fit for its low income patrons, the farm system allows its customers to decide what food is grown. Most families involved prefer more substantial foods, potatoes for example, rather than herbs like thyme and rosemary. New York Times.
