Do you want fresh, locally grown and organic food but don't want to give up the convenience of a regular grocery store? Then join Green Market Cooperative today and help make this store front a reality for Barren County.
Green Market Coop is a community-owned, whole foods grocery store with a mission to provide products of the highest quality and best value with a focus on consumer education, product quality and member control.
A cornerstone of our mission is to connect local and regional farmers who are practicing stewardship with consumers who are supportive of sustainable farming practices. Choosing local helps support the circle of community by keeping family run farms in business and creating local jobs. This system also further supports the local economy by keeping dollars spent close to home.
