Look Who’s Buying & Selling Local Food

June 27, 2019

Here are just a couple of the many wholesale customers who ordered from local farmers, fishers, foragers, ranchers, and food makers through Market Mobile this week!


Bluefin Grille
Providence Marriott Downtown
1 Orms St
Providence, RI

Showcasing an award-winning culinary team and stunning event spaces as well as an indoor and outdoor pool, our hotel is much more than just a place to stay. Don’t miss out on mouthwatering cuisine at Bluefin Grille, offering globally inspired cuisine using fresh, locally grown ingredients sourced from our very own Chef’s Garden in addition to local farms and proprietors.

 


Urban Greens Co-Op Market
93 Cranston St
Providence, RI

Urban Greens began in 2000 as a buying club with the purpose of providing our original 22 members with access to healthy foods at near wholesale rates.

The Co-op officially incorporated in 2007, and as of 2010 has been developing clear strategies to grow in membership, establish community partnerships and ultimately, to open a full-scale grocery store. Implementation of these plans began when the co-op reached a milestone of 500 founding members.Since 2013, the Co-op board has been diligently working with community organizations to secure the necessary funding to design and build a store at 93 Cranston Street. The location is part of a mixed-use development project that includes affordable housing and 8,000 square feet of retail space.

With the official opening of the Urban Greens Co-op Market — today, June 27! — the Co-op is fulfilling its mission to, “be open to all and support the health and well-being of our customers by offering nutritious, affordable food that is sustainably sourced, culturally inclusive, and supportive of local food.
