“I felt that there is a need for clean foods and drinks in Yellow Springs,” Baum told this news outlet. “The location is nice because it's in the heart of Yellow Springs and near the bike path.”

The Greene Canteen will offer grab-and-go selections that will include vegetarian and vegan options. “We'll probably start small and expand hours once we get our feet under ourselves,” Baum said.
