Neighborhood Green Grocery
Fresh local produce, pantry staples, grab-and-go meals, everyday essentials, and a welcoming grocery space built for the whole neighborhood
What is the Neighborhood Green Grocery?
The Neighborhood Green Grocery is 2,000 sq. ft community-centered grocery store in Lexington, designed to increase access to fresh, local, and affordable food. It connects our indoor farm, kitchen, and food access programs into one space where neighbors can shop for produce, prepared foods, and everyday essentials.
More than a grocery store, it is a place where food, education, and community come together supporting local farmers, reducing food waste, and creating a welcoming space for everyone.

This grocery is a growing and evolving space. We are opening with limited hours so our team can train, learn, and roll out each piece with care while continuing FoodChain’s other programs.
We welcome feedback, ideas, and requests as we build out this space together. We may not be able to accommodate every request right away, but we want to hear what our neighbors want to see in their grocery.
