Riverwards Produce

Riverwards Produce is a produce-focused grocery store with locations in Philadelphia's Fishtown and Old City neighborhoods. The market emphasizes sourcing local and organic produce, including "ugly" fruits and vegetables that might not be featured in larger supermarkets. This approach supports regional farmers and reduces food waste. In addition to fresh produce, Riverwards offers a bulk section with nuts and grains, locally raised meats and eggs, breads from local bakeries like Lost Bread and Merzbachers, cheeses from local producers such as Valley Milkhouse, and vegan options from emerging brands. The market also features flowers from local farms like Terra Luna Florals. ​

Committed to sustainability, Riverwards Produce implements initiatives to minimize food waste, such as offering discounted "dollar bags" for produce nearing the end of its shelf life and participating in a composting program with Bennett Compost. Founded by Vincent Finazzo, who has a deep-rooted passion for fresh produce, the market began as a pop-up shop in 2016 and has since established permanent locations in historic buildings, including one of Philadelphia's first firehouses. Riverwards Produce continues to serve its community by providing thoughtfully sourced, high-quality ingredients. ​
