Miss Ruby's Corner Market in Charleston provides fresh, healthy, and locally sourced food at discounted prices to support low-income families.
"Miss Ruby’s Corner Market was born out of a vision to make fresh, healthy, and local food accessible to everyone, especially those in Charleston’s lower-income communities. It started with a simple idea—growing food in urban spaces to help provide fresh produce to families who often struggle to find affordable, nutritious options. Over time, this vision blossomed into a storefront designed to serve as both a grocery market and a community hub."
"Our founders, Dural Miller, Alecia Allen, and the KYFC team, are passionate about supporting local farmers, promoting health, and giving back to the Charleston community. With the grand opening just around the corner, we’re excited to bring this important resource to the neighborhood—offering not only fresh produce but a variety of healthy, locally sourced products at discounted rates to ensure that everyone has access to what they need to live healthy lives."
Chef Ke is at the helm of the kitchen and is offering sandwiches, salads and other specials.
On this particular day, Chef Ke was offering walking tacos with choice of chips and toppings, which included: buffalo chicken, pulled chicken, lettuce, tomato, sour cream, chipotle ranch, ground turkey, cheddar, jalapeños, black beans, ranch and taco sauce.
I got a Doritos walking taco with buffalo chicken. Tasty! And my coworker got one with lettuce, tomato, cheese and ranch; it looked delish.
While I was there, they had fresh strawberries, plums, blueberries, peppers, avocados, and more. Plus, they have a variety of frozen goods, bakery items and general convenience items.
They are also offering occasional dinners, like spaghetti or chicken alfredo with sides of garlic bread and salad. I can't wait to come back to try some of those.
