Seafood
Nothing embodies the Co-op’s buying philosophy quite like the Seafood Department. It works like this: At the Co-op, we act as buyers for our members and shoppers, not as sellers for an outside supplier. In the grocery business, it’s a very different way of doing things — but at the Co-op it’s the only way. So you can believe that when we shop for seafood to pass on to you, we’re looking for the best we can find. Visit the Seafood Department and you’ll see the results!
Edgewater Farm
Plainfield, New Hampshire
The temperature is headed into the 90s, and the fruit is gently warm in the hands of the pickers. Before lunch on an average day in strawberry season, the folks at Edgewater Farm will harvest 800 quarts of strawberries, many of them for sale at the Co-op. Pooh and Anne Sprague have been raising strawberries along the shady banks of the Connecticut River since 1974. Over time, the operation grew to include other summer fruits and vegetables, as well as extensive greenhouses and pick-your-own.
Familiar With the Co-op's Communications Department?
If you have ever seen a Co-op sign or display, then you’ve seen the work of Art Director Katie Cahill. Katie and the Co-op Communications Department is responsible for promoting the cooperative difference showcased by the quality work our employees do each day. Didn’t think you’d find an Art Director at a food cooperative? Who can blame you! Sure, we have all the food departments you have come to expect in a food co-op. But there are a wide variety of other departments that help run our cooperative too — with people who are consumer-education and information experts, accountants, writers, graphic artists, computer nerds, MBAs, and environmental-sustainability gurus, just to name a few.
