In 1981, some brave folks did the future a favor. They started a food co-op in Knoxville, Tennessee…

Thirty-eight years later Three Rivers Market is still going strong, co-owned by nearly 10,000 Tennesseans.

Thank you all creating and nourishing a healthier environment, healthier people, and a healthier community!

Three Rivers Market is committed to green business practices. As part of our recycling program, we also donate cardboard trays to Young Williams Animal Center who uses them for pet bedding & litter boxes!

Kristen loads up her car a few times a week with these trays which means that cardboard gets another use and our furry friends get a place to rest their head and a clean box.
