What a year…what a decade!
From the entire team at Urban Greens Co-op Market, we want to thank you for your support, openness, and knowledge. Working together allows us to provide the best and most fruitful market. It has brought us so much joy to provide an everyday marketplace for cherished local goods and classes, and we can’t wait to bring more to you in the new year.
You’ve joined us for classes on unconventional mushrooms, vegan baking, food as medicine lecture series, the teaching of The Four Agreements. We’ve partnered with small local farms, such as Geek Gardens and Shewatuck Farm and small business pop-ups, like tacos by KRAEV PVD. We’re sourcing Rhode Island raised turkeys from Baffoni’s Poultry farm, grass-fed beef from Cloverbud Ranch, gigantic blue oyster mushrooms from Moonstone Mushroom Co. We are driven to grow our local goods, so if you are a maker or producer, please take the reins and get in touch with our buyers. Speaking of all those farmers, email maggie@urbangreens.com
January’s just arriving and February will come up fast. Use those resolutions to plan ahead. Sign up for Chronic Illness Management workshop with Isabel, IIN certified health coach and founder of SuperSized Wellness, both in English and Spanish on Sunday, February 2nd. In addition, we’ll host a FREE 6-week course titled Healthy Eating for Successful Living in Older Adults presented by Rhode Island Geriatric Education Center in partnership with Own Your Health Collaborative. It will be held Tuesdays 5:30 – 7:30 from February 11th to March 17th. Participants will have the added benefit of 10% off healthy, ready-to-eat meals from our hot bar, salad and soup bar. Reserve your spot today by clicking the link.
Contact us anytime if you have questions, are interested in attending a class, or if you have a skill to share to teach a class!
