Becoming a member & shopping at Prairieland Market is a VOTE for . . .
-
healthy, sustainably grown food. Our local vegetables,
fruits, and herbs are fresher and more nutritious than produce grown half a
continent away.
-
local producers and keeping more of your food dollar working
in your community. A dollar spent on local food generates nearly twice as
much income for the local economy as a dollar spent at a corporate
supermarket.
-
conserving energy and reducing output of greenhouse gases. A
community food system does not log as many “food miles” that most
conventional food travels from field to plate.
-
a better picture of how your food is produced. Local
producers can share information about their production practices and invite
people to tour their farms.
-
educating community members through our health and nutrition
workshops, cooking classes, and other wellness forums.
-
an opportunity to be part of the decision making process in
the store where you buy food.
-
supporting the only member-owned natural foods cooperative in
Salina.
-
member and patron benefits such as special discounts on
purchases.
-
the opportunity to participate in governance by voting for
board members who best represent your point of view.
-
a community market center which brokers locally grown foods
and products to restaurants and institutions in the Salina area.
-
a community gathering place that fosters relationships
between producers and consumers as well as with individuals and
organizations who place a high priority on health, wellness, and care of the
environment.
-
personable, friendly service – our staff will help answer any
questions and give you information you need to help you make the best
choices for you and your family.
