ABOUT US

Located in the historic downtown of Little Falls, Minnesota, the Purple Carrot Market is a local food cooperative on a mission to meet the diverse grocery needs of our community through convenience, a stellar shopping experience, and quality locally-sourced products at fair prices. 

The Purple Carrot Market is all about building community and self-reliance. When you invest in the co-op, you're investing in our community by supporting local growers and value-added producers to keep more of our grocery dollars local.  When the grocery store opens its doors, we will feature locally grown foods including meats, dairy, produce, and other prepared items.
