According to this McKinsey report, "in majority-Black communities, the prevalence of convenience stores means limited access to fresh, healthy food options. One out of every five Black households is situated in a food desert, with few grocery stores, restaurants, and farmers markets." Farmers markets are a great place to purchase locally-sourced fresh and healthy produce. Soko aims to make it easier for more people to get their food from farmers markets by making it easy to find markets near them and reducing the challenges to buying produce at the farmers markets. Specifically, Soko is dramatically improving the experience of using SNAP at farmers markets.Download the Soko mobile app for Android or iPhone today!
