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 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.
