BULK
Bulk bins and bulk ordering are a staple in food co-ops as they allow customers to purchase the amount of product they need, large, small, and anything in between. It's often the most cost effective, sustainable option, as purchasing in bulk cuts down on additional packaging and the potential for wasted product. If you're looking for low-waste, low-cost, & high quality, check out our bulk offerings!
- Tip: Members receive access to exclusive savings for special/case orders of bulk goods...
MILK BOTTLE RETURN
There’s something uniquely special about milk in a glass bottle. Besides the old-school look, storing milk in glass can help preserve the milk's taste and quality. Because the glass bottles are re-used (sometimes 25-30 times before being recycled!) post-consumer waste is significantly reduced. Simply purchase, consume, and return clean bottles to the Co-Op so the cycle can continue - plus, you get your bottle deposit back! The store rotates through different brands on occasion; here are some providers you may see on the shelf:
- Strafford Organic Creamery (Strafford, VT)
- Mapeline Farm (Hadley, MA)
- Crescent Ridge (Sharon, MA)
