Purple Porch Co-op Hot

We are a year-round online marketplace of locally grown and produced food, featuring organic produce, pasture-raised/chemical-free meats, eggs, raw cheeses, baked goods, vegan confections, fermented foods, jams, honey and seafood all grown/produced within 60 miles of the heart of Michiana.This is a convenient system for food producers and customers alike, as the farmers save time and buyers are able to shop from their computer year-round while directly supporting local family farms and businesses!You have a voice when the grower is a handshake away. This transparency lets you know exactly what you’re buying, and how it was produced. Meet neighbors and have fun shopping.   Buying Local Food Membership is not required - All are welcome.
