What if the co-op weren't here?
“In all likelihood, a lot of our local vendors would have a much more difficult time and a lot of them may not be in business if it weren’t for the cooperative and other local-oriented businesses like ours. Or, snapped up by other corporate agricultural businesses, where they’ll meet every letter of the law for regulation but completely violate the spirit of healthy, sustainable food production. This applies not only to food but every other aspect of everything that we buy.”
[Later, semi-related quote] "I’m excited to see where we go from here as a food cooperative. It’d be awesome to see even greater collaboration between the cooperative system too and for the cooperative movement here locally to expand beyond food and housing.”
