In honor of Earth Day, we wanted to share a few things that we do around the co-op to support sustainability.

While reviewing our co-op’s Articles of Incorporation in 2018, your Board of Directors made an important discovery - one that is both a cause for celebration and a call-to-action for our owners. 

Preparation for our KCK store at 5th & Minnesota is underway, and if all goes as planned, we aim to open in 2020.

You can rest assured that you will find the turkey you are looking for without the hassle of having to place a reservation. Our local, pasture raised, fresh-never-frozen turkeys are available beginning Saturday, November 17. 

After 44 years, your community-owned food co-op is ready to multiply! Your co-op’s Board of Directors and management have achieved alignment to sign a non-binding letter of intent to open a store at the corner of 5th and Minnesota in downtown Kansas City, Kansas. This alignment has been built through a year’s worth of visioning, conversations and feasibility.

“Everyone Welcome” is a motto the co-op adopted many years ago. We posted it on signs outside the co-op and marched with it on banners in parades. But, this invitation to shop and share in our cooperative is such a tiny piece of the larger work that we must do to become a co-op that truly represents the individuals and needs within our community.

As a community-owned co-op we are committed to complete transparency with the public. We are deeply embarrassed to admit that health inspectors identified a pest issue within an isolated portion of the store.
