Durham Central Market began through the efforts of folks in several neighborhoods near downtown Durham who saw a need and were excited about the possibility of creating a grocery/market that focused on locally-produced food. Our goal is to create a neighborhood co-op grocery that reflects Durham's unique culture and community, and that will serve those who live and work in the heart of Durham.

The Mission of Durham Central Market is:

• To serve the central Durham community.
• To sell high quality food and other products with special emphasis on locally grown and produced goods.
• To practice sustainability in our business by using resources wisely, and by promoting goods produced in a sustainable manner.
• To foster a workplace based on respect, dignity, and fair compensation.
