>> Well I grew up on a farm, so opening up a market for farmers really was the thing
that drew me to it, as well as being able to bring this food to people that really need it.
Otherwise, people are eating at convenience stores or they're eating
at fast food restaurants and that's not helping children grow.
That's not helping families be able to provide for themselves.
So, really meeting these people and allowing them to access this food, meeting them,
learning their stories and how much really fresh food changes people's lives.
And you wouldn't think, generally,
that food would change someone's life but it really, truly does.
So that's exciting.
The biggest challenge with Binghamton Farm Share is transiency.
So people in low income brackets often, you know, don't stay in the same place for long.
And we're trying to create a community
within a community that's always changing and always moving.
So the biggest challenge of my job is trying to track down people
and make sure they get their vegetables and help them to be able to afford the payments.
