Mobile Free Market
Since Sisters' original founding in 1997, we have distributed millions of dollars worth of free fresh organic produce and whole foods. Maybe you have seen us in our rainbow colored, community painted Gillig Bus. We distribute the kinds of foods you could buy at the North Country Co-op, Seward Co-op or the Wedge. We make weekly rounds to distributors – Co-op Partners, Albert’s Organics and others. On any given day, we may have fresh ripe organic produce, prepackaged whole foods, bulk goods and other items that may be overstock or be near their expiration dates. The food share committee schedules locations which are available by calling our food share hotline (612-746-3051). We also do “random drops” where we share food unannounced at a busy intersection or neighborhood park. We meet people, discuss good nutrition and share food. After sharing, cardboard boxes are recycled and overripe produce in composted at local community gardens, with minimal waste going into the waste stream.
