WHAT BROUGHT YOU TO FIRST SHOPPING AT THE CO-OP?

My kids introduced me to co-op soon after it opened and it quickly became our family’s favorite place to shop. We love the local, organic, and high quality products, the support of our local farmers and other businesses, the concern for our health, community, and environment, and the warm and welcoming vibe. 

 

WHY DO YOU SERVE ON THE BOARD?

I feel privileged to be an owner of such a special place and serving on the board is a way that I can support the mission and vision of the co-op. Also, I get to work with a group of wonderful people, which is a bonus.

 

FAVORITE STAFF INTERACTION

Not too long ago, Henry helped me choose a cider when I was having terrible trouble deciding. He was very kind and patient and put a bright spot in my day.
