The Future is Cooperative

October is National Co-op Month, a celebration cooperatives (organizations owned and operated by their members) that shape the future of food and farming. This year’s theme, “The Future is Cooperative,” highlights how co-ops are more than just stores or buying clubs—they are community-powered organizations that foster local connections, prioritize education, and promote sustainable food systems. By working together, food co-ops help bridge the gap between farmers and consumers, ensuring that local, ethical food remains at the heart of small communities.
