The Butcher and Larder

The Common Market is a nonprofit wholesale food distributor based in Chicago, US, dedicated to delivering local food for the common good. They have expanded to the Great Lakes region, aiming to connect communities and institutions like schools, hospitals, and universities with food grown by local farmers and producers. Transparency is key at The Common Market - they provide detailed information on how the food is grown, who grew it, and where it comes from with every local delivery. Recently, The Common Market acquired Local Foods, enhancing their reach and market opportunities for Great Lakes farmers. They offer fair pricing, collaborative crop planning, marketing support, and producer development. The Common Market fosters relationships with farmers committed to creating a transparent, equitable, and resilient food system. Join The Common Market grower network if you are a Great Lakes grower or producer. The Common Market's dedication to local and sustainable products has earned them praise from customers like Germaine Appel, Executive Chef and Nutritional Planner at Soulshine Preschool.
