Our Story
We are a cooperative, community-oriented organization that offers access to affordable, natural and healthy food and environmentally sustainable products. We provide public education and information on health and dietary topics, food justice issues, and environmental sustainability. We provide members with opportunities to serve the community through efforts like the community garden, health fair and educational events. We strive to sustain a market and economy for locally produced goods and services through our buying club and storefront located in Eatonville, Washington.
If you are interested in special orders, we can help you through our buying club. We also offer money saving organic produce shares. Our organic Produce Share provides community members with organic produce grown by local farmers, and other sources on the west coast.
