Navore Market is teaming up with the YMCA of San Diego County to launch a new community pickup hub at the Mission Valley YMCA \u2013 and it\u2019s the easiest excuse yet to skip the grocery run and support local farms at the same time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The USDA-backed platform (yes, actually backed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture) has been building a smarter way to get us food that\u2019s grown right here in San Diego, direct from the folks who grow it. This Mission Valley hub is the second of its kind in the county, and both members and non-members of the YMCA are equally welcome.<\/p>\n<p>Local Farms, One Sunday Stop<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s how the whole thing works. Navore is an online marketplace where we can browse and order directly from San Diego farmers and producers. The growers do the growing and packing, drop off orders at the Navore aggregation hub, and we roll in for a pickup. No middleman markup, no long-haul supply chain, no wilted lettuce from three states away.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Mission Valley hub joins Navore\u2019s La Jolla location \u2013 a small but growing footprint making local produce more accessible across the county.<\/p>\n<p>300 Oranges a Week for the Camp Kids<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To celebrate the launch, Navore is donating 300 locally grown oranges every week to Mission Valley YMCA summer camp participants. That\u2019s fresh produce straight into the hands of the next generation of San Diegans, which lines up cleanly with the YMCA\u2019s mission of nurturing healthy spirit, mind, and body.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cPartnering with the YMCA to bring this hub to Mission Valley is a milestone for Navore and for San Diego\u2019s local food community,\u201d says founder and CEO Caroline Driehaus. Backing from the USDA Local Food Promotion Program is what\u2019s making the network expansion possible.<\/p>\n<p>Order Online, Pick up in Mission Valley<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ready to shop? Head to NavoreMarket.com, search for Mission Valley YMCA (Navore Aggregation Hub) on the map, and browse the producers stocked at the pickup location. Place the order in advance, then swing by the hub during pickup hours to grab everything in one stop.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Navore-Market-2-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Navore Market Mission Valley YMCA\" class=\"wp-image-89125\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>See you there!<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bring a tote, bring the family, and swing by the Mission Valley YMCA \u2013 eating local just got easier, with 300 oranges a week heading straight to the neighborhood kids.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udcc6 Sundays, starting July 12 | 12 PM \u2013 4 PM<br \/>\ud83d\udccd Mission Valley YMCA, 5505 Friars Rd, San Diego<br \/>\u2139\ufe0f <a href=\"https:\/\/navoremarket.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">View the full offering<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">See you there, San Diego!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mission Valley just landed a new way to eat local.
