Cooperative Study Circles
What's a cooperative? Who can form a cooperative? How can this business model be used by everyday folks to help themselves resolve needs in the community? Let's talk Co-op!
The Front Porch Grocery Co-Op
A community owned grocery store! Neighbors are coming together and organizing to create a community owned grocery store! Bringing fresh, local foods to the shelves while supporting nearby farmers and vendors. This isn't just a store- it's a gathering place for shared recipes, ideas, and friendships. Have a say in what you buy, help shape a healthier future and join in making the community stronger, one bite at a time! Check out: Facebook/thefrontporchgroceryco-op for updates
