Since then we have evolved into first a weekly farmers market and then into a full service grocery store, deli and market in downtown South Bend.

Grocery | Deli | Market • Co-op focused on local, organic, and sustainably produced food • Open daily at 123 N Hill Street in Downtown South Bend
Hours: Mon-Sat 8am-8pm | Sun 10am-6pm Purple Porch Co-op was established in 2009 when a few friends sat on a painted purple front porch and dreamed of making the food system more transparent and fair. Our storefront opened in February 2014. Everyone is welcome to come in and check out the bounty of local and organic foods. Stop by to grab breakfast, lunch, or dinner; pick up prepared foods for sharing at home or at work; drink our locally roasted coffee; buy our local and organic/fair trade products, including produce, dairy, bulk items, and grocery. Our prepared deli items are made from scratch using the high-quality local and organic ingredients for sale on the nearby shelves. Visit the Farmers Market on Wednesdays from 5 – 7pm and meet the producers. Whatever your reasons for seeking a co-op—just looking for good food; concerned about fair treatment of producers, animals, the earth, and workers; preferring organic food for health; passionate for economic and food justice; seeking a community and welcoming space—we have it in our store.
