Community members in the garden
Our Story

Rooted in Passion, Grown for Community

Glades Green Market & Co. was born out of a simple yet powerful mission: Helping People Thrive. The Federation of Families of Florida for 25 years has been dedicated to addressing food insecurity and mental health in Florida.

In a community where access to fresh fruits and vegetables is limited by distance and economic barriers, we saw an opportunity to create a sustainable solution. By combining a community garden, a green market, and a food pantry, we've built a multi-faceted hub for health and empowerment.

Our Unique Approach

What makes us unique is our holistic view of community health. We don't just provide food; we provide the tools and education to grow it, the market to sell it, and the support systems to ensure no family is left behind.

Collaborating with esteemed partners like United Way, The City of South Bay, American Heart Association, Palm Beach County Government, Flipany, City of Belle Glade, People of Purpose, McCormick Farms. We work tirelessly to bridge the gap between rural isolation and nutritional abundance.
