Green Grocer

What is Green Grocer?

Green Grocer is a mobile farmers market that is designed to travel into communities affected by food apartheid to provide the fresh food options that are currently missing from the landscape. By selling fresh, healthy foods at an affordable price Green Grocer will help to alleviate food inequity by creating access.

Everyone is welcome to shop at the market! We strive to create a safe, inclusive, and welcoming environment for all.

We accept multiple forms of payment including cash, credit, debit, SNAP/EBT, Food Bucks, Food Bucks Rx, and S/FMNP Vouchers, and FMNP Bucks on the local items. For every $2 you spend with your SNAP card, you receive a $2 Food Buck coupon back to spend on fruit and veggies.

Green Grocer makes 20 market stops in 20 different neighborhoods.

Green Grocer will return to markets on April 1, 2021. Click here for the latest flyer with locations and times or check out the schedule or map below.

What is a Food Apartheid?

Food apartheids are more than the lack of grocery stores and other healthy food options in non-white and/or low-income communities. Food apartheid also points to the discrimination of communities of color when it comes to economic opportunities.
