How it works
Local
Our facility aggregates, stores and distributes fruits and vegetables grown by BIPOC farmers
Sustainable
By souring local, we reduce food miles traveled, eliminate packaging waste and support farmers who use pesticide free and organic growing practices.
Equitable
We leverage both income and grants to ensure fair pricing for our farmer network, while securing access to affordable produce for community members.
Why Shop MPD?
Our work is built on authentic relationships with both farmers and customers. Each sale directly supports the infrastructure for a food system that ensure fair wages for BIPOC farmers and access to healthy food for our community
