Green is the new black when it comes to feeding your family, and the Triangle is no stranger to organic food, with its long growing season and booming businesses.

Organic Options Expand In The Triangle

Finding organic goodies for everyone around the table to enjoy is as easy as opening your GPS app. Here are a few options to consider during your search for local organics.

Weaver Street Market

Weaver Street Market is a trusted Triangle co-op 30 years in the making and now serves customers in Hillsborough, Carrboro and Chapel Hill — with a downtown Raleigh location coming later this year to the Warehouse District. The market’s reputation as a must-visit store for organic-minded shoppers is centered on collaborations with local food artisans and farmers to provide organic produce, meats, cheeses and even wine. Weaver Street isn’t just building bridges between families and organic food — it also runs a childhood hunger initiative called TABLE and displays customers’ art in the cafe. weaverstreetmarket.coop

Durham Co-op Market

A true embodiment of the community it inhabits, the Durham Co-op Market is as much a reflection of the Bull City as it is a market and cafe. Shoppers will identify Durham’s culture in every aspect of the co-op — from obtaining a punch card for walking or biking to it, to feeling welcome to breastfeed within the store. The market also welcomes kids via a robust “Co-op Explorers” program that encourages them to learn more about nutrition. durham.coop
