The Produce Department

The produce section of TPSS is packed full with organic produce of all sorts. The variety of fruits, vegetables, and herbs at the co-op cannot be beat.

TPSS is committed to selling local produce from small farmers as much as possible; local produce is fresher and buying it helps support the local economy.

The co-op also has a floral section selling potted plants, seedlings, and fresh cut flowers. Sometimes conventional produce is offered when organic is unavailable but it is always separated from the organic and clearly marked as conventional.

To contact the produce department, email produce (at) takomapark.coop or produce (at) silverspring.coop.
