We envision a local Food Co-op adding to the Monadnock Region by:
- Making healthy, local food accessible to our community members all year round
- Creating more local jobs and keeping money in the community–our co-op will be locally owned forever
- Supporting the region’s farmers and helping to preserve the rural landscape
- Offering education and training (cooking, nutrition, and food preparation and preservation classes, etc.) to employees, the general public and community leaders
- Working with other businesses on sustainable development in the downtown
- Serving as a community center with workshops and community service programs
- Helping to promote a strong local economy: every dollar spent at the co-op and other local businesses has roughly three times as much local economic impact as a dollar spent at a non-locally owned business
- Helping to create a walkable community by providing a community-owned food market in the downtown
The Monadnock Food Co-op welcomes neighbors, connects community, and contributes economically to build a healthy & sustainable food system and community.
