You may have noticed that our fabulous Freedom Hill Farm yogurt, kefir, and buttermilk has been out of stock lately. That’s because it’s been so hot that the Freedom Hill grass-fed girls haven’t been able to produce as much milk!
We hope to have Freedom Hill products back in stock as soon as the girls are up for it, but meanwhile, if you’re traveling upstate this summer, please know that you can visit the farm in Otisville, NY — they have tours, and they have a farm store!
More info is available here — please support our local farmers during these difficult times!
Hello friends and neighbors! We are LOADED with great stuff this weekend! We have fresh sweet corn, peaches, sugar snap peas, garlic scapes, radishes, strawberries, blueberries… you name it! Come on down and shop!
We have an exciting announcement — we’ve partnered with Chefs on Call! This a special new nonprofit project created to help immigrants in our community who are extraordinary cooks achieve economic security using their culinary talents. You can support the project and enjoy delicious home-cooked, ready-to eat South Asian and West African dinners by ordering on their website. Orders are due each week on Wednesday evenings by 8pm, and you can pick up your order at the Co-op the following day, Thursdays, from 5-7pm sharp.
As the program continues, the hope is to expand pick-up hours and locations, offer a more diverse menu, and even include delivery.
Save yourself a night of cooking and join us in celebrating our talented neighbors — please order and enjoy!
Well, there seems to be some dispute among the groundhogs, but the snow was melting today, anyway, and at 33 degrees, it felt like springtime! Hoorayyy!!
We’re all navigating winter as best we can and are certainly looking forward to spring, but meanwhile, your friendly neighborhood co-op is ALWAYS chock-full of delish fresh stuff for you, and this week we also have a brand new delivery of local handcrafted beeswax Sunbeam candles — Valentine’s Day specials to brighten things up and spread good vibes and smiles all around!
Come on in! All are welcome to shop anytime, and if you haven’t joined yet, you can sign up right in the store whenever we’re open! Looking forward to seeing you soon!
Well, what kinds of resolutions did you make for this brand new year? Hopefully, you resolved to JOIN YOUR FRIENDLY LOCAL NEIGHBORHOOD FOOD CO-OP… and that means US! Hooray!
And why should you join our small yet mighty co-op? Well, because you want to support:
A fair, ethical, and sustainable food system not governed by corporations and greed
Local small farmers and producers
Kind treatment of people, animals, and the earth
A community-owned and operated store right in your neighborhood that offers great food at affordable prices
A gathering place that brings together people who share these values and who strive for a more just society!
We are always OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, so come on in and shop anytime (and remember, we offer a 3% discount if you pay with cash!), and while you’re at it, sign up right in the store!
Membership is a one-time investment of $100 for an individual, $60 for students/seniors, $175 for dual/family (more than one member sharing shifts), and free for those using EBT. Being an active member entails doing a 2-hour shift every 5 weeks (easy!), and that entitles you to a 5% discount if paying with a card and an 8% discount if paying with cash — sweet! The discount more than makes up for your investment in no time at all!
And remember — joining a co-op means you’re not only a member, you’re an owner, and all members have a say in what happens at the store! So if you haven’t done so already, please stop in anytime we’re open and check out the store, meet our managers and other member-owners, and get involved! We’re looking forward to meeting you!
