A new grocery store is arriving this upcoming summer in Duluth, Minn. LNPK Grocery will be located right between Happy Sleeper and TBI Residential & Community
Services on 2013 West Superior Street in Duluth.
Eco3 is an urban farm that produces resh food and educational space for
community building is the main grocer for the LNPK. Food Access and Community Wellness Specialist Toussaint Stewart said, “We will be what I call, a ‘hyper-local’. One of the only stores that has their farm yielding from only two miles away. This aspect of seed to store is going to be one of our niches.”
The majority of produce from LNPK grocery is grown on the Lake Superior College
campus through a program that was once available to LSC students until the COVID-19
pandemic. Now growing strong, the LSC crops are yielding fresh produce now better than
ever.
Stewart is also a community member who grows his own crops. “When you get into
the process of seeding, growing, and then cultivating your own food, you deepen that
relationship…as a community.” He speaks on the positive impact growing from his own soil has had on his life. According to their website, the Duluth Community Garden Program manages 22 garden sites across the city of Duluth.
