Local and sustainable foods

Our product mix includes good things from close to home like Dean’s Beans coffee (Orange), free-range eggs from Margot’s Eggs (Athol), pork from Coolidge Hill Farm (New Salem), chicken from Diemand Farm (Wendell), and seasonal bounty like greens and other veggies from Seeds of Solidarity Farm (Orange) and Coolidge Hill Farm (New Salem).

We also stock dairy, honey, maple syrup, flour and grains, and much more from food producers around our area, including great items from other New England co-ops. You’ll find Bart’s Ice Cream and Katalyst Kombucha from Greenfield, organic, non-GMO tortillas from Mi Tierra in Hadley, and much more.

And we offer a weekly pre-order program for fresh, sustainably-harvested fish sourced through Wulf's Fish in Boston. Check the weekly specials on the list in the store, call us to find out what's on offer, or go to our Facebook and Instagram pages for the weekly post. Info is usually available by Saturday; order by 7 pm Tues for pickup after 3 on Fri.

Our inventory changes from month to month, with many specialty items from nearby producers and some that come to us from suppliers like Marty’s Local, a family-owned distributor connecting producers and markets around central New England and New York’s Hudson Valley. We’re excited to partner with Marty’s and many others who are working to rebuild the kind of local food networks that fed our part of the world until just a few decades ago.
