FRESH FOOD IS A HUMAN RIGHT.
Together, we’re building a better food system—one where everyone can access the food they need.
Broad River Community Market works to improve access to fresh, local produce for people across Cleveland County. Through partnerships with local farmers, we provide free produce and eggs at pop-up markets in Shelby and surrounding communities.
Many communities in Cleveland County are considered food deserts despite the many farms around them. Broad River Community Market focuses on bridging that gap by connecting local farms and their products with people who need them most.
We believe that connecting farmers with their neighbors in need makes a big impact:
improving community health and nutrition,
addressing local food insecurity,
and promoting the development of our local food economy.
