The Co-op Food Stores

Anyone who is familiar with the Co-op Produce Departments knows how much we love our Upper Valley growers. But we get the good stuff anywhere, and good produce doesn’t come much better than our Pennsylvania peaches. It’s a customer favorite that we carry for a few short but intense weeks, when the peaches are full and juicy and full of flavor. Check them out in our Produce Departments!  Read more »

There’s nothing that the good folks in the Co-op Frozen Department love more than summer. And though summer at the Co-op means many things, free ice cream may be at the top of the list. Join us for our Ice Cream Social on Thursday, July 24, at the Hanover food store and Friday, July 25, at the Lebanon food store. Both events are from 4 to 6 p.m. and feature loads of ice cream, toppings, and other tasty treats. It’s free, of course, and kids with chocolate-covered chins are welcome. Don’t forget to mark your calendars now to join us at our next event, the Producer’s Fair, coming to the Lebanon food store on Saturday, August 9!  Read more »

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.   Read more »

The Co-op Café Gallery came into being in 2002 with a whisper rather than a roar. The Co-op’s Lebanon Food Store had just expanded, using a pleasant open area in a retail footprint previously occupied by another business. From the beginning, the new space seemed perfect—except for its empty walls. So to fill those walls, old Co-op banners, posters, and other promotional materials from days gone by were dug out and put up as a temporary solution. The bright light of the space meshed well with the vibrant colors of the graphic design, and the idea of an art gallery was born.  Read more »
