added 04/26/08
From our Global Ends statement to our organization’s mission and history, start here to learn more about what makes the Co-op Food Stores such a special place. A cooperative business is one that is owned by those who use its services. The Co-op embodies the idea that by working together and pooling our resources we can provide ourselves and our community with goods and services we desire. Since its founding, the Co-op has relied on the vision, involvement, and support of its members for its success. Participation is both a right and a responsibility of Co-op membership. Our members’ involvement ensures that the Co-op remains a strong, responsive, consumer-run organization.

Meat Department
We run our Meat Counters like an old-fashioned butcher shop. Meat cutting is a trade that has a long history and takes a lot of skill to do it right, and as a result our meat cutters take great pride in what they do.
Crossroad Farm
Post Mills, Vermont
Of all the farms that supply the Co-op, Tim and Janet Taylor of Post Mills, Vermont, sell the widest range of products, with lettuce serving as their major crop. They provide the Co-op with eight different varieties of lettuce, which are available seven days a week during the season. They also supply salad mix, cucumbers, cauliflower, cabbage, peas, green peppers, red potatoes, summer squash, and zucchini squash. In addition, Janet provides the Co-op Floral Department with annual flowers and hanging baskets.
