Subdivision Produce Coops Growing in Popularity and Saving Residents Money

Are the residents in your subdivision in saving money on their grocery bills? Then you'll be interested in this success story. (Click on photos to enlarge)

We are a community produce coop that has started from a few friends hoping to save a few dollars to becoming an amazing community wide coop. We have been fortunate that the coops have had wonderful volunteers to help everyone continue saving money. We hope everyone enjoys the experience and please keep in mind this is run by the wonderful volunteers from the group leaders, group members sorting, etc. It is a great way to help others in your community and an opportunity to promote healthy living among our famlies.
