June is our month to celebrate Cooperatives and Collaboration.
 
Food Coops are often member-owned and serve as some of the the freshest sources for local flavors and seasonal delights in retail stores. They seek out high quality foods and merchandise from local, organic, and sustainable producers.  If you can't get to a farmers market, Co-ops are a great shopping alternative! This week, Food Front Coop and Alberta Coop will be visiting our Community Space to tell us about thier stores and how to get involved.
