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.

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