FreshGreens Market is an organic, no-chemical farm + market in Montgomery, Alabama. FreshGreens Market seeks to make fresh, nutritious, and organic fruits and vegetables accessible to all– engaging and connecting small local black farmers to urban consumers, educating community members how to grow their own food, teaching new ways to eat and live a healthier life, reimagining how to buy food, providing low-cost organic, chemical free options to everyone, and creating new food opportunities.
Using sustainable and organic growing practices, the ecosystem of FreshGreens produces a variety of organic fruits, vegetables, herbs, and tasty greens. We grow on several farm sites, including five green spaces on the West Side of Montgomery, Alabama and a 10 acre farm located just outside of the city. FreshGreensMarket provides fresh food and juices for the weekly mobile market stops across TheWestSide, supplies our GreenBox CSA from April-November, and aids the community members in emergencies when life happens.
FreshGreens Market is the formulation of two sisters from Montgomery, Alabama, honoring their legacy of intergenerational community building and land stewardship and being inspired by the power of health, wellness, and food. Erica and Erin Washington are the co-founders of the organic urban farm and market in Montgomery, Alabama, FreshGreens Market.
They are grateful to honor the legacy of their great grandfather who opened a grocery store in the exact same spot in the early 1940s, and that was also managed by their grandmother. The area has been one of regeneration and love and fruit for generations.
