At Urban Soil / Tierra Urbana, one of our favorite shared resources is the bulk room. We order wholesale food and household staples in bulk so residents can stock up at a discount, right here in the community.
The tradition started 20 years ago in the building’s lobby — which is how the Food Lobby got its name. It’s grown over the years, but the spirit is the same: buy together, save together.
Here’s how it works: bring your own container, fill it up, and take home what you need. You’ll find granola, popcorn, soap, spices, and more, with new items rotating in regularly.
It’s a simple system with real benefits — saving money, cutting down on packaging waste, and making healthy food more accessible to the whole community.
