Loretta became a Glenwood Fresh Market member in 2023. Before her membership, she said she didn’t prioritize her diet as much as she should have. “They really helped me with getting fresh vegetables throughout the month. I’m diabetic, so it really helps.” After consistent access to fresh produce, she noticed a difference in her health. “Overall, I feel a lot better than 63. I'm up walking around a lot better. My skin and hair are a lot more luxurious too."
Loretta’s membership has ended, but she loved the market and shared her experience with others. Now, she still visits the market with current members who are friends and family. When she was a member, Loretta enjoyed Susan’s cooking demonstrations the most, and she plans to continue to attend non-member activities like Chair Aerobics to continue prioritizing her health.
Loretta said besides free fruits and vegetables, the Fresh Market is an invaluable source of information. During a recent visit, Loretta learned about The Senior Farmers' Market Nutrition Program, which she said she would not have known about without the Fresh Market. “That's the best part about it. I hope everyone else gets the message because it's more than just fruits and vegetables. You know what I mean? It's good for the whole community.”
