Sustainable and local can also be beautiful.

The story of The Green Market begins several years ago, founded on a strong friendship and a passion for sustainability and wellness.

Co-founders Tessa Cressman and Jenny Bence have combined their talents in design and food, respectively, to bring The Green Market to life. Jenny’s background in food as owner of The Green eatery, blended with Tessa’s creativity and passion for design, has fueled their mission from the very beginning. The two often discussed going into business together, ultimately deciding to expand The Green and its principles to create a grab-and-go storefront that incorporates all that Nantucket has to offer.

The summer season is a fantastic, bustling time on Nantucket, with many opportunities to buy and sell local goods. However, we have recognized the need for a year-round location for people to sell their products, and for visitors and residents alike to find what they need. We acknowledge that local vendors need a home for their products, just as much as visitors need a one-stop-shop option. Now more than ever, it is important to support small businesses. It is also imperative to our mission that our products are sourced in New England, featuring the best of Nantucket and beyond. It became our mission to support our community while presenting healthy, sustainable options in a unique way.

The Green Market combines a small marketplace environment with food products ranging from organic produce and baked goods to grab-and-go meals. The space is adorned with fresh flowers and plants, New England antiques, and exceptional household items. Completing The Green Market is a vast selection of clean beauty and skincare products from renowned brands such as OSEA and Tammy Fender.

We are thrilled to welcome you into The Green Market to support our community and shop for the best of Nantucket.
