Pollinator-friendly gardening

Our greenskeeper, Becky Graham of Harvest Moon Design, has grown a pollinator-friendly garden at the co-op! Our garden encourages beneficial visitors like bees, butterflies, insects and birds. The variety of plants and plant shapes are intentional, as hummingbirds can access some flowers that insects can’t, and vice versa, and some plants have higher amounts of pollen and nectar.

“Everything is grown organically and naturally because healthy soil makes for healthy plants. I’m trying to create a healthy microbial life. There’s so much going on under our feet,” Graham said.

It is also a nourishing garden. The plants’ nectar and pollen nourishes the pollinators, who in turn keep the garden healthy. Our deli cooks with herbs from this garden so it can feed you too!

Ownership Drive starts May 15

Own a grocery store with us! Everyone is welcome to shop at our co-op, but there are benefits to ownership and during our owner drive, May 15-21, there are extra incentives to join including 20% off a shopping trip, a free tote and a chance to win a prize.

Sign up with a refundable $25 per year, which will more than pay for itself during Owner Appreciation weeks when you get to save up to 20% on a shopping trip four times per year. Owners can also order cases of their favorite products and save 10%.

We are a community-owned grocery store, a consumer-owned cooperative. Our shareholders are regular people just like you who elect a board of directors to oversee the store and staff carry out the day-to-day work.

By becoming an owner of the co-op, you contribute to a vibrant local economy that puts people before profits and keeps more of your dollar circulating within the community. Some examples include expanding the marketplace for locally-grown food and supporting good jobs. Learn more about the benefits of co-op ownership and how it works.
