Have you noticed the price of everyday items skyrocket the past few months? The Food Group of Minnesota is here to help!

The Food Group of Minnesota, a nonprofit organization, is working to bring equity and access to fresh, sustainable food throughout the state. Look into Fare for All and the Twin Cities Mobile Market to help decrease your grocery bill!

Fare for All 

Fare for All sales are a pop-up grocery shopping experience open to everyone. Similar to shopping at a co-op, the more people who shop, the greater the savings!

Fare For All buys fresh produce and frozen meat in bulk from wholesalers, manufacturers, and growers. Volunteers bundle it into packages between $10-$35, saving you up to 40% off retail prices.

There are always fresh fruit, vegetable, and frozen meat to choose from. Specific menu items change month to month. The menu can be viewed ahead of time on their Peek Page. Fare for All sales accept cash, credit, debit, and EBT cards as payment.

Sales are at hosted in communities within 75 miles of the New Hope warehouse. Locations typically have a sale once per month. Check the calendar to find a sale near you! 

Fare for Fall Package Options

  • Mega Meat Pack $25 — 6-8 frozen meat items (chicken, turkey, pork, beef, or fish)
  • Mini Meat Pack $11 — 3-5 frozen meat items (no pork)
  • Produce Pack $10 — 2-3 fresh fruits and 3-4 fresh veggies
  • Holiday Pack $35 — Turkey (Nov.) or ham (Dec.), protein, veggies, sides, and dessert
    (Holiday pack only available Nov – Dec)

Throughout the year you may find that a sale is canceled. Fare For All closes when area schools are closed, if the trucks cannot function properly (at or near 0 degrees), or it’s unsafe for staff, volunteers, and customers.

Sign up for sale reminders based on your preferred location. Check Facebook for updates on cancellations too.
