"We want to bring health awareness to the community," said Hodges who is a recent graduate of the University of Florida in event management. She and her business partner Branndi Lewis are very much into health and wellness.

Their company motto is, "Health is your birthright. Love this life. A wholly healthy life."

Next year they want to expand Fresh Fest to include Flagler Drive. They also want to showcase local companies, so there can be a greater sense of community.
