Local Love Week

Our 12th Birthday is on June 6th, but we’ll be celebrating all week long with 12% off local items, giveaways, sampling and more!

We wouldn’t be where we are today without the support of our local community, farmers, and vendors and we wanted to spread the local love to you, so be sure to stop in and try something new!

Thank you for your past, present, and future support of the co-op! We love locals like you.
