Subject: [healthycornerstores] A New Resource from Seattle and King County for Healthy Food Retailers!

A new resource is now available for small grocery and convenience stores to help make selling fresh produce a little easier: The Healthy Foods Here Produce Manual <https://catalyst.uw.edu/workspace/skt8/14501/101408> .
 
Owners of small grocery and convenience stores often have minimal experience working with fresh produce. The Healthy Foods Here Produce Manual <https://catalyst.uw.edu/workspace/skt8/14501/101408> takes the guess work out of displaying, storing and handling fresh produce. The manual provides basic care information on nearly 50 types of popular fruits and vegetables in easy-to-understand language and a picture of each kind of fruit or vegetable. This free resource will be given to store owners as part of an in-person training and is also available online <https://catalyst.uw.edu/workspace/skt8/14501/101408> for small retailers across the country who are looking to carry healthier food in their stores.
 
The manual was made possible by funding from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and Public Health - Seattle & King County (PHSKC <http://www.kingcounty.gov/healthservices/health/partnerships/CPPW.aspx> ) and was developed by the Healthy Foods Here <https://catalyst.uw.edu/workspace/skt8/14501/79524> (HFH) project.  HFH has been tasked to work with small retailers such as small grocery stores and convenience stores to sell fresh and healthy foods through providing a range technical assistance and financial incentives.
