University of Delaware Extension and the Delaware Department of Agriculture have teamed up to explore community perspectives and needs for food retail throughout the state. They developed this survey to begin to explore experiences with various places where fresh produce, meats/fish, and groceries are purchased -- including farm markets, small stores, supermarkets, dollar stores, pharmacies, etc. Also included are recent experiences and needs with online grocery ordering and delivery. Finally, the survey asks about community priorities regarding a variety of potential solutions that could improve access to nourishing foods, particularly in the many rural and urban communities throughout the state where such access is limited or difficult, and provides space for sharing ideas as well. It's available in English and Spanish and will take about 15 minutes. Please fill out one of the surveys here:
