Brightside Produce

BrightSide Produce, founded in 2014, is a local nonprofit offering novel solutions to expand access to affordable fresh food in underserved Twin Cities communities. We do this through a series of programs that are interconnected and operate synergistically: 1) a successful distribution system for corner stores in underserved Minneapolis and Saint Paul communities, 2) a weekly "Pay What You Can" produce delivery service for folks of all income levels, 3) Produce Rx deliveries, 4) farmers market management and 5) an Online Farmers Market that generates revenue to fund our mission-driven programs. We operate year-round, delivering ~5,000 lbs of conventional and organic produce to >40 corner stores and ~250 homes each week.

We believe everyone deserves access to affordable, healthy food, regardless of their income level or where they live.
