"There was a void for healthy, inexpensive food.... it was also a community center where you could get some education... You could come to Fields of Plenty and tap into what was going on about building the boycott to South Africa, how to support the Sandinistas, how to link up to the co-op movement. That was part of what we saw ourselves as trying to cultivate this further empowerment, further activism while we were serving people directly."
