It’s time for another member/shopper satisfaction survey!  We’ll be surveying members starting on October 16th, via an emailed link, so, please sign up for our E-News list if you’re a member (right here) and keep an eye on your inbox!  (A laptop will be made available at 170 Main Street during the survey period for members not on our email list who wish to take the survey as well, during regular business hours that week.  Following the initial members-only portion of the survey, the survey will be made open to the general shopping public via an online link.)

Fall In

A new season is just around the corner, and along with it, National Co-op Month!  October is the time that we officially celebrate all things co-op–but you don’t have to wait until then to feel the co-op difference!   From our support of local farmers and suppliers to our care for community, our members know that this ‘grocery store they own with their friends’ is the place to be for the freshest organic produce, the latest community news, and food they can feel good about bringing to their table.  Our latest issue of the New Beet is a wonderful celebration of all of the above–be sure to pick up a copy in store, or, find it online, along with the latest monthly Members’ Almanac!
