Westside Produce and Provisions is a local food market located at 5015 Colley Avenue in Norfolk, just a few blocks from ODU and the Lafayette River. Approaching the store you’ll notice raised beds growing a variety of herbs, peppers, tomatoes, eggplant, squash and flowers. As you enter, a variety of locally grown produce, meat, eggs, cheese, wine, beer, pasta and baked goods, greet you. They are all grown or made within 100 miles of Norfolk, with the occasional special Virginia Grown item. This is a store where you can buy almost all your groceries locally!
Gordon Holley, one of Westside’s owners, worked for many years in food distribution and when the small local business he worked for was bought by a larger national company he decided he needed to change course. Gordon has always been a supporter of local food and local business because he believes it is essential for the health and wellness of our local economy. While job searching he got involved volunteering for Buy Fresh Buy Local Hampton Roads and started to become more familiar with the local food community here. He noticed that there was room for growth in local food in Norfolk, and realized that if he couldn’t find work for a local company, he might as well start his own! We are glad he did!
Westside Produce and Provisions will be celebrating their 2nd year in business on Sunday July 13th. Please join them for samplings of their newest Locally Produced items, Virginia Wine & Beer tastings, door prizes & more.
