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!

New Season, New Discounts!
