I went to the co-op on Labor Day to get groceries for the week. I witnessed a wide variety of people shopping at this small town version of Whole Foods. There were people all over the spectrum, most notable were a hippie, a family with a mother and 3 children, and a woman with her dog in the store.

It is challenging to work through schedules and life conflicts but I am optimistic that it could work
