Garden Cove Produce

For 31 years, Garden Cove Produce stood, selling fresh and locally sourced fruits, vegetables and more. It began as a community garden at Oakwood College (now known as Oakwood University) and later adapted a storefront.

The grocery store was located along Meridian Street near Downtown Huntsville. While being remembered for its murals, family feels + fresh produce, the site it stood on is now being reimagined.

A new project has begun on what once sat Garden Cove Produce. Keep reading to hear how this redevelopment will bring new businesses to Meridian Street.

What this means for Meridian Street

With up-and-coming businesses popping up on Meridian Street already, this reimagining seems to have come at just the right time.

With the nearby openings of new businesses such as Barracuda Taco Stand and The Lumberyard, questions have arisen about what is next to come at the old Garden Cove site.

While businesses haven’t been confirmed, here are some exciting guesses:

• 🌯 New restaurant concepts
• 🛍️ Retail + small businesses
• ☕ Coffee or brunch spots
• 💪 Fitness + wellness
• 🎶 Live entertainment spaces

This space has a lot of potential, and the construction has already begun.

The community gets a say
