Durkeeville & Co is now a Blue Zones Approved Grocery Store — and with it comes more fresh, healthy options right in the neighborhood.

As part of the Blue Zones Project approval process, we worked with the community to decide what produce they wanted most. Thanks to Eartha’s Farm and Market, those fruits and vegetables are now stocked on the shelves, and Baptist Health made it possible by providing the refrigeration to keep them fresh.

Together, we’re making the healthy choice the easy choice in Durkeeville.
