Local producers and farmers – especially those who are just starting out, are in the process of expanding, or fine-tuning the way they do things – need support facilities and services to make their operations more efficient. Westside Community Market makes these easily accessible to them at a rate that won’t cause a spike in their overhead expenses.
Ultimately, Westside Community Market aims to be a hub for entrepreneurship, as well as preventive health management. More than a food depot, it seeks to be a platform for community engagement where people can see firsthand where the food they eat comes from and get clued in on the processes that it goes through before it gets to their table.
