  • Support Local Producers

    We prioritize local farmers and producers and are often the first retail business to take a chance on folks just entering the market. We are proud to work with 200 local farmers and producers. Local products make up over 30% of our annual sales.

  • Build Community

    From donating to local nonprofits to creating an inviting space where everyone is welcome, our co-op is so much more than a grocery store.

  • Protect the Environment

    From our commitment to organically produced products to the array of solar panels on our roof, we seek to operate in ways that positively affect the environment. At the co-op, over 42% of our annual sales are comprised of certified organic products.

  • Grow Our Local Economy

    As a co-op our profits stay local which means more of your food dollars benefit our community and local economy.
