Lander’s Meadowlark Market Increases Access to Local Food

Many Lander residents want to buy groceries from local producers, but there are few current systems to do so and the processes are not convenient for many would-be consumers. To address this issue, a group of locals are joining forces to create a storefront and commercial kitchen that would increase access to local food. The front of the building would be a grocery store open on weekdays, allowing residents to browse and purchase products they might not have found elsewhere. To help get the project in motion, the LOR Foundation made a grant that will cover six months worth of rent, utilities, and insurance.
