Food Access
"Fresh from the Delta Fields to Your Doorstep"
We are dedicated to connecting you with freshest farm-grown products right from the heart of the delta. Our mission is to promote economic sustainability and self-sufficiency while enhancing the quality of life in our communities. we believe that everyone deserves access to healthy, locally-sourced food, and we strive to make that a reality for you and your family.
Farmacy marketplace
IHS believes healthy food options should be accessible to everyone, regardless of income, social status, or location. Limited access to fresh, healthy food is the leading cause of health issues in communities we serve. Through our Food Access program, we provide fresh food outlets in rural and low-access communities by establishing food outlets and bringing together farmers, retailers, and the community.
Farm Marketplace is our neighborhood grocery store established under the Food Access program. Located in Webb, MS, Farmacy eliminated the need for residents to drive more than miles for fresh food. It provides an outlet for local farmers to sell their produce and serves as a blueprint for IHS in increasing food access and reducing food waste in local farm businesses.
FARMACY MOBILE
Farmacy Mobile is our traveling market dedicated to increasing access to fresh, locally grown produce for underserved communities. By bringing the market directly into neighborhoods, Farmacy Mobile supports small local farmers and makes healthy food options more accessible to all.
The mobile market visits 2 low-income, low-access locations each week on a consistent schedule. We accept EBT and other forms of payment to remove barriers for everyone, and we offer purchase incentives on fresh produce to encourage healthy choices.
With a grant from the USDA, the American Heart Association gave us $125K for the mobile truck, the point-of-sale systems, and marketing mobile produce. The truck will set up in small towns in the Delta, like Glendora, Jonestown, Coffeeville, Shelby, and Mound Bayou, each week, and will offer fresh, locally grown produce and fresh meats to patrons. We will accept all forms of payment, and patrons purchasing produce with EBT will receive coupons for free produce on their next visit.
New Title
FOOD CLINIC
Food Clinic is our container-based grocery store model, created to bring fresh, affordable food directly into communities that have limited access to traditional supermarkets. The first Food Clinic opened in December 2025 in Mound Bayou, Mississippi, inside a renovated shipping container designed as a compact, efficient grocery space. It offers fresh produce, meat, and everyday essentials sourced from regional farmers and trusted suppliers, making it easier for families to shop close to home. Instead of expecting residents to travel long distances to a big box store, the Food Clinic brings the grocery store to them, combining convenience, dignity, and healthy options in a neighborhood setting.
