Bridgeport Café

Launched in 2012 by Burten, Bell, Carr Development (BBC) in an effort to create a healthy alternative to traditional fast-food establishments that are overly prevalent in the neighborhood, Bridgeport Café serves a variety of healthy foods and sells fresh, locally-grown produce directly to area residents.  The Café is located in CornUcopia Place, a community facility also developed by BBC that offers nutrition education, cooking demonstrations, a harvest preparation station for local market gardeners, and space to the community on a rental basis.  In 2013, the Café began a food truck program, known as the Mobile Market, which circulates through the community to ensure as many residents as possible can access fresh produce.
