Bringing Fresh Produce to Local Communities

State and federal grants have helped support markets located in “food deserts” to provide fresh produce to their local communities. The Janus Youth Village Market is one such market located in North Portland.

Located at 4632 N Trenton St. the Janus Youth Village Market provides fresh groceries to one of North Portland's food deserts.

A wide selection of produce is available at the Janus Youth Village Market.

Ed Tryon, assistant manager at the Janus Youth Village Market, arranges some of the fresh produce they offer.
