Investing In Local

Our mission to provide fresh, organic food and goods is only possible with the help of local farms, vendors, and small businesses. Through Farmhand, the Co-op’s collective community fund, our employees and members put over $45,000 into the hands of 30 local growers and makers. These contributions helped fund major efforts like irrigation systems, commercial equipment, improved growing practices, and more.

Contributing To Our Shared Collective

Active participation in our community doesn’t stop at our doorstep. Contributing to our larger, local ecosystem is an essential part of our mission. This year, we were excited to donate over $17,000 to 22 local organizations and events like Big Paws of the Ozarks and The Big Gay Market.

Embracing Sustainable Practices

We believe in spreading good, not waste. In our continued effort to become a greener business, we partnered with Food Loops to launch a more sustainable packaging program. Today, over 50% of our kitchen and 100% of our taproom packaging is commercially compostable, making us NWA’s first grocery store to have a comprehensive compost and recycling program for both front and back of house.
