The Sudbury Good Food Project truck and trailer visits eight locations in and around the city each week delivering produce at wholesale prices. The not-for-profit visits places like Alban, Levack, Atikamashing and Markstay as a means of taking care of communities, especially those with no grocery store
Putting wide smiles on people’s faces — that is the kind of work Rylan Stolar wanted to fill his cup.The non-profit project by Better Beginnings Better Futures started a few years ago with the intention of providing fruits and vegetables at wholesale prices to underserviced areas.
Those particular spots in need are Markstay, Alban, Levack and Onaping Falls and the Good Food Market services them all year long. Service ends for all other areas on Oct. 1. Bauman’s Greenhouse on Lee Valley Road in Massey supplies onions, carrots and corn. This year the Mennonite farm supplied yellow and red watermelon and canteloupes at rock-bottom prices.
Stolar also delivers for Better Beginnings Better Futures in schools with the Student Nutrition Program. He said he cannot believe how grateful the people who visit his utility trailer are on a daily basis. It is evidently clear to Stolar through his upbring that no local grocery store often means the diet suffers.
