Two Mondays per month, we host markets which provide access to beautiful, local, affordable food through a social-tiered pricing system. Our solidarity market looks and feels similar to a small farmer’s market, just flexible pricing! When you shop at our markets, fresh produce is available to all shoppers, and there’s a separate pantry section (milk, eggs, bread, cans, other shelf-stable goods) that is just for members.
