What was your motivation for coming to and/or joining the Co-op? Our amazing bulk foods section. The mushroom barley soup – I tried it and just fell in love! Basically, I started coming here to get good, fresh, local food that I couldn’t get anywhere else.
What is your favorite thing you get from the Co-op and what’s so great about it? I love the kimchi (Sunja’s), and the garlic Hempzel’s pretzels, and our Café soups and Burrito Bar. These are all things that I feel are made with care and love.
If you could change one thing about the Co-op, what would it be? I would like to bring back the volunteer program, because I feel that it helps members connect more deeply to their co-op and to discover new things.
What do you LOVE and hope will never change about the Co-op? For most of us coming here, the Co-op represents community, community-supported agriculture, local business and our commitment to one small thing that we can do to help change the world through our conscious choices. I hope that never changes.
What makes shopping at the Co-op different than other stores? Seeing somebody I know and taking a few minutes to say hi and catch up!
What do you like to do when you’re not at the Co-op? I’m out in the woods a lot, foraging. I love playing music and drumming with people, and writing.
How would you describe your lifestyle, and how does the Co-op fit in? I’m all about supporting small and local businesses, so supporting the one I have a stake in is a no-brainer, and the fact that the Co-op sources so many things locally makes it more than easy to walk through that door every week.
