The Brattleboro Food Co-op Board of Directors shares with many in our community horror, outrage and grief at the killing of George Floyd, and the long list of those, before and after him, who have been killed, injured, discriminated against and/or have suffered injustice and bigotry, even casual, by members of our dominant white culture. We invite conversation, guidance and collaboration from and with those working to make the changes we are committed to making. Feel free to reach us at [email protected].
Each month we focus on identifying a local producer to feature in our monthly newsletter, Food for Thought and in-store. We conduct an in-depth interview, and feature photos, creating an article that reaches over 9,000 shareholders. We invite the producer to the Co-op to show off their wares through a demonstration or a tasting. We promote the producer and event through print materials as well as our website, Facebook, and Instagram advertising. This program is central to our cooperatively owned business.
If you are a shopper dedicated to buying organic and whole foods, committed to supporting our local community, organizations, and family farms, and believe in cooperative ownership, we encourage you to become a shareholder.
