-The Cooperative cultivates strong relationships with food and the community through \\ cooperative principles. We connect the food we eat, the people who produce it, the friends and family we \\ share it with, and those who most need access to safe, healthy food through a member-owned grocery. We \\ strive to buy directly from farmers and food producers whenever possible, and nurture strong connections \\ within our local economy. We are committed to just, safe, and sustainable growing, production, and food \\ delivery practices. We use a democratic cooperative process to effect community decision-making, \\ place-based ownership and investment, and workers’ rights. We strive to minimize our impact on the more \\ than human world and nonrenewable resources. We are committed to being good co-members and good \\ neighbors who listen carefully, and who include our neighbors in the identity, work, responsibility, and \\ benefits of the Cooperative.+The Cooperative cultivates strong relationships with food and the community through cooperative principles.
