This episode is all about co-ops helping co-ops! The sixth co-op principle is “Cooperation Among Cooperatives.” How do co-ops, well, cooperate? Host Anastasia takes us through a number of different ways that co-ops have been known to support one another. First, did you know that the Littleton Food Co-op is actually a member of other co-ops? One of those is the Neighboring Food Co-op Association (NFCA), and Bonnie Hudspeth is featured in this episode to tell you why it is imperative for co-ops to work together, and the results that can happen when they do so. We also step outside the consumer food co-op world to hear from Molly Snell-Larch of Columinate, a national consulting cooperative made up of diverse experts dedicated to making co-ops better. Finally, David Hale of the Caledonia Food Co-op tells us how valuable established co-ops are when forming a new co-op. Did we use the word “co-op” enough for you?

While we support all co-ops, we want you to know that the Littleton Food Co-op is the place to go for local produce, cheese, craft beer, bulk foods, prepared foods, and more in northern NH and VT. We’re easily accessible off of Exit 41 in Littleton, no membership is required to shop, and we have the friendliest staff in town! What more do you need to know?

Episode IX: Cooperation Among Cooperatives

Surprise! That's Rad produced our first ever "prank episode" this year in honor of April Fool's Day. If you want a guaranteed laugh this is the place to be! Listen to the story of how our intrepid podcast host Anastasia is taken by local organic aliens, and humble cashier Bob has to step up to the plate and host the podcast. There's mad dashing across the store, thought-provoking guest star interviews, and some fresh and funky new tunes to add to your playlist. But beware -- everything is not as it seems...Remember; April Fools Day is a state of mind, meaning you can also send this to a friend and give them their daily jump-scare. Enjoy!

We're not pranking you by saying that the Littleton Food Co-op is blooming with fresh local produce, meats, cheeses, craft beer and wine, bulk foods, prepared deli items, and more. We’re also stocked to the brim with every type of seed for the green thumbs, and have a wonderful selection of houseplants for the…less than green thumbs. All of it is here for you, our local community. No membership is required to shop. Come stop by, just off Exit 41 in Littleton, and see why we’re being called “the friendliest place in the North Country.” Or visit us online at littletoncoop.com for weekly specials, healthy recipes, and more.
