The Common Market is a nonprofit food distributor founded on very basic principles: Access to good, affordable food is a fundamental human right and that the people who grow our food deserve to be paid and treated fairly—and that these two ideas need not be mutually exclusive.
Since our founding, our social enterprise allows these principles to guide us as we work to change the status quo of food systems in the United States.
We formed a set of Values inspired by these equity-based principles. These values inform everything we do.
Our mission is to connect communities with good food from sustainable family farms. We strive to improve food security, farm viability, and community and ecological health.
We envision a nation composed of vibrant regional food systems - where interdependent urban and rural communities thrive through relationships that build the health and wealth of all people.

"Often as a chef and manager, trying to buy local has been at the least a pain. Building a relationship with The Common Market has completely changed that experience. I know that the product I am buying is local down to the farm where it was grown. I am able to let the students know the people who grow their food so that they feel a real connection to those farmers. I look forward to a long and growing relationship with the Common Market."
