October is Co-op Month, and along with that, we encourage you to consider joining our co-op, when you can feel good about grocery shopping at a community-owned store. We’ll sweeten the deal all October with special coupons, and a reuseable tote bag.
Why join? When you are a Co-op member-owner, you’ll find yourself wanting to shop local rather than supporting the big corporations. You’ll grow the local economy.

This October, your Neighboring Food Co-ops are joining over 65,000 co-operatives and credit unions across the United States in celebrating Co-op Month, observed nationally since 1964. In 2024 the theme, “The Future is Cooperative,” was chosen by the National Cooperative Business Association (NCBA CLUSA) as an opportunity to engage co-op members, customers, employees, and the general public about the co-operative difference.

Why Co-op? We are businesses that enable people to work together to meet community needs and goals rather than maximizing profit.

October is Fairtrade Month.

Choosing Fairtrade is more than buying and selling products, more than being a business partner, an advocate, or farmer. When we choose Fairtrade, we participate in a vision for a better world – a world where farmers and workers have an equal seat at the table. We become part of a movement for change that makes a difference. We embody Fairtrade’s values of equality, dignity, and respect.
