Tell us about your awesome project! (2000 chars)

Greens & Beans is a budding food co-op based in DC's Ward 2. We are a worker-focused cooperative whose mission is to link DC residents with good, local food at a reasonable price that works for the producers and the members. We have 15 active members, we're based out of local church, and we're working with a nearby farm to source our produce. In the next year, we're looking to grow to 50 members, have a physical storefront, and work with multiple farmers to increase our variety.

Images of your project

How does your project *directly* benefit the city and citizens of Washington DC? Specifically: #1 -What DC Ward are you based in? #2 - What DC Ward(s) will your proposal serve?

We are based in Ward 2, but we welcome members from across the DMV. We directly benefit the city and citizens by providing local produce outside of standard farmers' market hours and at a lower price. We're able to get a lower price by negotiating and ordering directly from the farmers.

When will your project take place, when do you need the money and how will you raise the rest of the money required for success?
