Do you wish you could buy healthy food for your family - and invest that money back into our community and our local farms?

We do too!

That's why we started the Miami River Foods Project. We want to connect our local farmers with their neighbors - us! We love healthy food (organics taste better!), but we think that shipping a salad from California can't be good for the environment. We would also rather keep our money in the local economy, where it keeps working for our community, rather than sending it out to far-away food processors.

The Happy Box program at Fulton Farms does this very well, delivering a box of local, organic produce to our door every week - at a big savings to the environment as well as our pocketbooks. Now what about other things that are produced locally, like beef, chicken, turkey, milk, eggs, bread, honey, coffee, and more?

And since a lot of the people that are interested in eating healthy and locally are also interested in products that are better for the world, what about being able to easily buy products on Better World Shopper's recommended list from a source that we trust?

That's the plan. Buying foods and goods that are good for our community, good for the world, and easier on our wallets. A brick-and-mortar grocery store owned by and operated for the good of our community.You can help us get there!

1. Sign up for our weekly email newsletter on the left! We'll keep you up to date on our progress, more great products in the community, and how you can help make a market a reality.
2. Join the Beta Test program! Beta Club members are the foundation of our efforts to organize a community-owned grocery store. By ordering local and organic foods through our online market, Beta Testers help local farms build their capacity - and help the Project team cover startup expenses.
