The purpose of this study was to<br>assess the availability of quality fruits, vegetables, dry good, and meats at corner store locations in a south-<br>central Minnesota county designated a food desert. Corner stores (n=22) were audited for the presence of<br>20 fresh fruits and vegetables, low-fat meats, and whole grain dry goods.
