Pilgrim’s Market sustains a grocer’s urban farm
Over the past 10 years, there has been a shift back towards growing food in urban spaces. But building a high-production farm right outside the back door of a grocery store is as urban as you can get.
Since 1999, Pilgrim’s Market in Coeur d’Alene has been offering healthy, local and sustainable foods, supplements and lifestyle products. In 2015, they decided to take their values a step farther by establishing a market garden directly behind the store to bring fresh produce directly from farm to shopping basket.

Executive chef and owner Brunson's European heritage and passion for organic ingredients guide his business model as well as his personal mantra: To eat good quality food and know where it's coming from.
