Green Your Routine!

Contributed by ,

It’s a new year, and, we’ve got great new ways to help you Green Your Routine at the Co-op!  We’ve committed to eliminating all plastic water bottles smaller than 1.5 liters in our stores (you can get a great reusable aluminum bottle of water from Proud Source for under 3 bucks!), and have a whole host of other options for eliminating packaging and waste from your routine—from metal straws to beeswax wraps.  Look for special bird signs on our shelves highlighting these items!

Another great way to go green is to go co-op!  Shopping locally shrinks your carbon footprint–and we support over 200 different local suppliers, farmers, and producers.  You can become a member for just $3 a month, and immediately take advantage of the 10% quarterly member discount coupon, to help you save a little green while greening your pantry.  Sign up today!

Merry and Bright

Contributed by ,

In the season with the least daylight, the glow of community shines the brightest!  We’re ready to gather around fires and cups of cocoa with our friends, family, and co-op community to share our hopes for the coming year, our recipes for our favorite local vegetables, and the bounty of Franklin County.  We’ve got festive free wine sampling events all season long, a holiday pop-up shop for Jinglefest at our 170 Main Street Space, and so much more!  We’ll see you at the co-op!

Gather At The Table

Contributed by ,

We welcome opportunities to support our local farmers and suppliers in any season–and are particularly thankful for the opportunities that fall during the shortest days of the year.  Whatever your reason for gathering—we hope you’ll visit us at the Co-op for everything to make your next meal together full of the flavors of Franklin County!  Thank you for being part of our community, and for letting us feed you.  We’re thankful for you, each and every day.

 

Feeling overwhelmed while planning a family or friendsgiving?  Pick up one of our handy shopping checklists to make sure you’ve got all of the essentials, and, be on the lookout for our staff member recipes throughout the store, with some of our holiday favorites!
