Earnest Flowers on Building a Healthier Community
Manage episode 415678779 series 3319754
In February of 2021, Earnest Flowers opened a natural and organic grocery store in the heart of Southeast Queens called Earnest Foods. Since then, the store has become a vital source for residents – offering sugarless, gluten-free, and organic products in an area where options like these are scarce. And while at first, there was a trickle of customers – neighbors, or those who saw it in local newspapers, the business quickly cemented loyalty by going beyond standard customer service.
In this episode we sit down with Earnest as he shares his journey from participating in local farmers markets during the pandemic to establishing a full-scale grocery store. We also talk about his commitment to supporting other minority and local businesses, and the broader implications of food access in his community.
