Healthy Main Streets
 

Healthy Main Streets is a wellness initiative that encourages locals to explore healthy eating, shopping, dining, and outdoor fitness options in local Boston Main Streets communities. The goal of the "Eat Fresh. Live Well" program is to educate residents about where to find and how to best utilize farmers markets, local grocers, produce stands, and restaurants that offer fresh and healthy menu items. The program will also encourage local residents to include basic physical activity into their daily lives.
