It's a relatively big company and six days a week, it delivers to approximately 150 different organizations including schools, places of work, grocery stores, etc. Some of the food it supplies includes meat, fruits and vegetables, beans, eggs and dairy products, coming from New Jersey and Pennsylvania. More than that, it is aware that many of the places it delivers to offers a local food program. "We strive to maintain our grower’s identity throughout the process of distribution so that our customers know exactly what they are getting and from where," they write. **Contact Information** Common Market [website](http://commonmarketphila.org/) Common Market on [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/pages/Common-Market-Philadelphia/210566048960871) Common Market on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/CommonMkt) ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 41% | Activity: 47% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Social Good](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialgood) > [Social Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialbusiness) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Local and Sustainable Farming:** Opportunity for businesses to adopt sustainable farming practices and promote locally sourced products. - **Mission-driven Food Distribution:** Opportunity for food distributors to focus on common good by prioritizing sustainable and ethical food choices. - **Transparent Supply Chains:** Opportunity for businesses to showcase the origin and quality of their products through transparent supply chain practices. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food Distribution:** Food distribution companies can capitalize on the demand for locally sourced and sustainable food products. - **Agriculture:** There is potential for innovation in the agriculture industry by adopting sustainable farming practices to meet the growing demand for ethically produced food. - **Education:** Educational institutions can embrace mission-driven food distributors to provide students with nutritious, locally sourced meals. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Affordable Grocery Store Subscriptions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/affordable-grocery-store.md) - [Hybrid Community Supermarkets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-after-market.md) - [Mobile Produce Markets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grow-on-the-go.md) - [Affordable Private Grocery Labels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/odds-and-ends.md) - [Nourishing Community-Focused Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fresh-thyme-markets.md) - [Food Insecurity-Fighting Partnerships](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/feeding-americas-mission.md) - [Secret Farmers Markets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/secret-kind-farmers-market.md) - [Hunger Relief Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hunger-relief.md) - [Vertically Farmed Leafy Greens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bristol-farms.md)
