In celebration of Earth Day and the blooming buds sure to soon hit the North Country, host Anastasia is exploring the connections between food and our environment for this episode of That’s Rad. To do this, she recruited Kris Pieper, Food Access Coordinator for Taproot in Lancaster, NH. Together, Kris and Anastasia discuss how food, the environment, and we who live in it all impact one another. Kris also shares more about the Taproot initiatives he runs, including gleaning and the Lancaster Community Garden. And yes, the word they’re saying is gleaning–not cleaning. To learn more about what that word actually means, as well as gain some helpful insights on how everyone can live a greener life, make sure to listen to this episode! 

We here at the Littleton Food Co-op like to say we know a thing or two about food access and helping the environment. Since 2009 we have been a thriving marketplace for the greater Littleton community to shop for healthy, local foods. Our store boasts local and organic produce, meat, bulk foods, prepared deli meals, craft beer, and more. Plus, part of being a co-op is giving back to our planet, whether it be through our solar panels and electric car charging stations, or the elimination of plastic bags at check out. Feel free to stop by 43 Bethlehem Road in Littleton and see what we’re up to. Just off Exit 41! See ya at the Co-op!

Episode XIX: Food and the Environment

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.
