Sliding-scale fresh food markets.
At the SEED Markets, we sell food on a sliding scale. This means that you can pay anywhere between our low price and our retail price. Lowest price is 33% off retail. You choose what’s best for you, no questions asked. By paying the retail price you help to subsidize the cost of selling the food at a discount. We sell both local and imported fruits and vegetables, soup starters, dried goods, and our frozen meals and Makeover Muffins from the Upcycle Kitchen.
Our innovative model brings together people of all incomes for a common purpose – good food and social connection.
By shopping at the SEED’s markets, you directly contribute to a more equitable food system.
