Chicago trolley tour transforming access to fresh food

In a Fox 32 special report, Terrence Lee looked at a new program that’s highlighting a number of local fresh food sources growing right under our noses.

It’s not your typical trolley tour.

“I think that it’s absolutely beautiful,” said Cynthia Streeter, a trolley tour participant. “Beautiful, beautiful. I think it’s a beautiful program. I didn’t think nothing like this even existed.”

It is about some fun and some function too.

“I think it’s wonderful” said Darryl Bolling-Petross, another trolley tour participant. “Doing the garden thing.”

“We’re in a food dessert in this area, so you need to know how to grow your own vegetables. Any food that’s all,” he added.

That’s one of the reasons why the Farm to Table trolley was started this year.
