Urban Greens is a food cooperative on Providence's West Side with a mission to provide simple, direct access to affordable, local, natural products and to offer a community-based alternative to corporate supermarkets. The cooperative is guided by its values of equal access, local agriculture, local economy, co-operative principles, community partnerships and social entrepreneurship. For the past seven years we have coordinated a volunteer-run buying club that currently provides a full range of groceries through biweekly orders. In the interest of making our cooperative buying model more accessible to the entire community we will be opening a cooperative market in 2000 that will replace the current buying club.
In order to make the Urban Greens Cooperative Market a success, we need you to be a part of it! There are numerous ways to get involved, including buying a storefront membership, helping with our membership drive, attending a meeting to join in our dialogue, and much more. Take a moment to look around this website for more specific information on our cooperative.
