Co-operative Market

Co-operative Markets

 

Healthy Solutions has developed a co-operative market program that functions just like a farmers market, however it doesn't have to have farmers present for it to function.  This program allows farmers the time to do what they do best farm! This market program sets up markets that sell farmers goods directly to the community at affordable prices.  Our markets are often run by youth and community members giving them the oppurtunity first hand to see where their food comes from and learn how to run healthy food enterprises at the same time.

 

If you are looking for a market and would like to host a market stire please contact us.
