As a pilot program of its Food Diversity Project and the Southeast Area Farmers’ Market, Our Kitchen Table is offering market patrons the opportunity to order bulk  whole foods from Country Life Natural Foods, a supplier to food co-ops throughout the Midwest. Items include foods like dry beans, whole grain flours, nuts and seeds, pasta, rice and more.  View the entire PDF Catalog here.

You can place your order via email, [email protected], or in person at the market, Nov 7 or 14.  Orders will be available for pick-up on specific dates at the market during market season and at Garfield Park Lodge during the off-season.

As the Southeast Area Farmers’ Market accepts Bridge card/SNAP/EBT, its patrons using these programs will be able to buy bulk food items at the market along with fresh, local fruits, vegetables and herbs. The market offers some bulk foods for direct purchase as well. By ordering together, minimum purchase requirements for free delivery are met. Food orders will not be marked up from the catalog price. And, OKT is not adding any kind of fee to orders.

"I’m beyond excited and feel this will be such a positive addition (to the Southeast Area Farmers’ Market),” says Christina Flier, market manager. “We all deserve access to nutritious whole foods!"
