The Local
STeam created and currently runs the first ever UCB student cooperative organic vegetable / fruit stand on campus! "The Local" is open for business every Wednesday at our NEW LOCATION on Sproul Plaza in front of the MLK Student Union between the hours of 11am to 3pm. At this student-run stand, you can purchase locally-grown, sustainable produce at a reasonable price (we're run entirely by volunteers) while supporting local small farmers. STeam utilizes The Local as a launching point for educational efforts on topics ranging from 'tracing your food system' to the carbon and environmental cost of conventional agriculture. Through the Local, volunteers not only sell delicious fruit and vegetables, they also share recipes and make great friends too!
You can also purchase Klean Kanteen reusable water bottles from us at a great price--$13 for the 27oz bottle and $18 for the 40oz. ChicoBags reusable grocery bags are only $3 each, and they come in a variety of colors.
What's available at The Local these days (changes by season):
- tomatoes
- fresh herbs
- onions
- bell peppers
- various greens
- beets
- lots more!
