Interested in seeing (and shopping at!) a permanent produce stand in Delridge? Here’s a simple way to help Delridge Produce Cooperative reach that goal. DPC’s Galena White shares the news about bags they’re selling to raise money:

Delridge Produce Cooperative has recently incorporated, and we’re closer to opening a permanent produce stand in the Delridge Neighborhood. We are a community-owned organization, without large private investors. In order to sell inexpensive, locally-grown, pesticide-free produce, we have to raise money!

Our ‘Grow’ bags were so popular at our ‘Mobile Market’ that we decided to offer them for sale. Each bag holds more than a regular plastic grocery bag, is reusable and washable, and stuffs into one of its own corners to form a cute little strawberry. We’re all volunteers, so 100% of the proceeds from these $6 bags go toward Delridge Produce Cooperative’s effort to open a produce stand on Delridge. Please visit one of the locations listed below and look for one of our baskets to help us bring healthy food to our neighborhood!
