This fall, we asked our co-op owners what community means to them. To us, community means supporting our local nonprofits, farmers and vendors to the best of our ability. It means rallying our owners and shoppers around supporting organizations that make big impacts in our neighborhoods through Change Matters. It means building inviting, inclusive, equitable spaces where staff, owners, and community can connect through food.

Read on to discover what community means to some of our co-op owners and friends; get inspired to cook healthy, guilt-free comfort foods for your loved ones; and take a behind-the-scenes look at the production of some of our favorite local foods.
