The George Washington Carver Project, as the initiative is called, is encouraging shoppers to go to the Stiles Farmer’s Market, which is the only full-service black-owned grocery store in Florida and sources its food from black-owned farms.

“Guys, if we support this brother, he can improve his store, continue sourcing and being a buyer from Black Farms, which will assist our efforts in removing food deserts from our inner cities. Our communities deserve a clean, well stocked, and nutritious store whose products give black farmers and other makers a chance to compete,” The Hungry Black Man posted on its website.
Additionally, the owner of Stiles Farmer’s Market has promised an extra 10 percent off for those participating in the initiative, so you can support black business and save money!
