My name is Andrea Rasca. I have always loved markets and eating well. Nothing makes me happier than sharing a meal with my family and friends, laughing and eating together.

I started MM, my idea of an urban food market, to put real food back into our cities. In MM, you can buy bread made by bakers, eat food cooked by independent business owners and buy produce from artisanal makers. In a lively and warm atmosphere where communities are connected and people spend time chatting and talking to one another.

Our vision is for MM to be more than a market. We aim to create a vibrant MMovement with a vision towards good food, building communities and promoting sustainability, in everything we do.

The ultimate DreaMM for us is to make nutritious and affordable food available to everyone.

Thank you for joining our MMovement.

wHY DREAMM?

MM is much more than a food market; it’s an urban destination and a community space. We create responsible approaches to producing and consuming food and build communities through a diverse range of events, workshops and cookery lessons.

We are launching our DreaMM incubator to support entrepreneurs and incubate start-ups to break down barriers and build a thriving economy. As our Markets are expanding, we are looking for new people, businesses and initiatives who share our values to join our MMovement and bring their dreams to life!

Our MManifesto

Our MMovement is driven by a vision for good food, community and sustainability. This is our MManifesto.
