The goal of Farm to Retail is to increase the amount of fresh, frozen or canned fruits and vegetables sold in locally-owned convenience stores. Participating Farm to Retail sites are committed to stocking, displaying and promoting at least two varieties of fruits and at least two varieties vegetables (without added sugar, salt, or oil). The fruits and vegetables can be the fresh, frozen, or canned.
