ABOUT US

Mercato Metropolitano embodies sustainability through our locally-sourced, seasonal ingredients that nourish communities while respecting the environment. Our founder Andrea Rasca believes, "Access to nutritious food is a fundamental human right connecting people by nurturing the balance between humans and nature."

As part of the MMovement, we serve as a catalyst for positive change by bringing diverse cultures together through food. We make nutritious food accessible to everyone, regardless of socio-economic circumstances, by carefully selecting trading partners who share our values of supporting local economies and making good food accessible.

In our vibrant, sustainable community markets, people from all backgrounds converge around food and forge meaningful connections. We also build inclusive, resilient communities through a range of workshops, educational programmes, and partnerships - working united towards a common goal.

We share the collective responsibility to live in harmony with the Earth, caring for the soil that enables healthy food production while minimising our environmental footprint.
