EASY ACCESS TO PRODUCE

When Gallup pollsters asked Hartford-area residents how easy it is for them to access affordable fruits and vegetables, 91% said they had no problems.  But this answer placed Hartford in the bottom third of the nation’s metro areas, the same as Little Rock, Arkansas. This compares to the 96.6% of people in Olympia, Washington believing they had easy access to affordable fruits and vegetables.  People in Anchorage, Alaska and Prescott, Arizona saw themselves as having the hardest time getting affordable produce (67.3% and 83.1%, respectively).
