On the 4th Friday of every month, the Co-op donates 5% of sales to a local community group for 5% Friday. We are now seeking applicants for 2027. Spread the word and apply today!

Whether it’s a random Tuesday in our slice of paradise, an extra day off, or that glorious annual camping trip, these new items need to be on your next shopping list to keep you cool and contented wherever you’re headed.

The Co-op recently switched to home compostable bags in the Produce Department. Our Produce Manager Ben explains why they’re great and how to keep your summer produce fresher for longer.
