Every Sunday, ReDelicious gathers food waste from different farmers’ markets, local businesses, and leftovers from the community at an urban farm in Edgewood DC.

All are welcome to take, eat, cook, and preserve the food. It’s an improvisational kitchen experimentation experience run by a co-op who believes in economic democracy. Join us on Sunday to be a part of the magic.

ReDelicious is a food repurpose co-op and kitchen library. We ferment, dehydrate, preserve, and cultivate delicious products from food waste. Our signature product is pesto made from the tops of carrots, radishes, turnips, and other veggies. The profits we make will be directly invested in building our community-owned kitchen library: kitchen tools, appliances, and infrastructure for everyone to share. We are converting community waste into community wealth.
