economic impact.
• Rounding up to fund food security.
• Developing a reusable packaging solution.
• Promoting regenerative farming.
• Minimizing food waste.
Building a thriving co-op:
• Developing a sustainable 昀椀nancial model.

Supporting small producers:
Our consumers and workers are our sole owners. This

catering to outside interests.

• Pioneering co-op to co-op trade.
• Prioritizing products from Game Changer
(BIPOC) producers.
