Local Farmers
Growers and orchards within driving distance of Hatfield who want shelf space, a market table, or a wholesale relationship.
Community Collective
Join our community.
Mumbai Central is more than a grocery store. It is a gathering place for the farmers, makers, cooks, performers, and organizations who give our neighborhood its flavor — and we would love to build something with you.
Who we are
The Mumbai Central Community Collective
A standing invitation to the people who make Hatfield, Lansdale, and Montgomeryville feel like home.
Every aisle in our market tells a story that started somewhere else — a farm down the road, a family recipe carried across an ocean, a spice blend perfected over three generations. The Community Collective is how we bring those storytellers out from behind the shelves and into the store itself.
Through the Collective we host cooking demos, live music, dance and styling workshops, artisan tables, wellness sessions, youth activities, and nonprofit drives. Some partners join us for a single Saturday. Others become a regular part of the calendar, or supply products we carry year-round.
There is no fee to apply and no cost to participate. What we ask for is care, reliability, and a genuine desire to give our guests something worth remembering.
Who can apply
If you make something, teach something, or serve someone — you belong here
The Collective is deliberately broad. These are the partners we work with most often, but if you do not see yourself on this list, apply anyway.

Musicians, dancers, yoga and wellness teachers, language tutors, and workshop leaders of every tradition.
