Black farmers open first grocery store in Birmingham neighborhood in nearly 70 years

The market operates inside Heart of the Farm, a new facility developed by Fountain Heights Farms Cooperative. The opening restores grocery access in a neighborhood that had not seen a grocery store in nearly 70 years. The project combines food retail, community infrastructure and local agricultural entrepreneurship, creating a commercial outlet for farmers while addressing neighborhood food access.
