October is a big month for the Littleton Food Co-op. So big that we needed two new podcast episodes to fit in everything we wanted to say! On the last episode of That’s Rad (Episode XVI: Equal Exchange), we talked about fair trade and sourcing on a broader, global scale. Now, host Anastasia sits down with Littleton Food Co-op General Manager Ed King to discuss how fair trade and other “specialty sourcing” labels and certifications affect our own co-op. Find out how we choose what goes on the shelves, labels we trust, and Ed’s personal advice for being a “smart shopper.” We know you didn’t know there would be a bonus October episode, but we promise that this one beats all of your expectations. 

The Littleton Food Co-op is Littleton, NH’s only community owned marketplace, and your premiere destination for all the products with all the labels you want to see. You can find products that are fairly sourced, organically raised, free range, and more, all delivered with great customer service. Find out why everyone’s rushing to the Co-op for local organic produce, fine cheeses, meats, bulk foods, craft beers–the list goes on! In addition to product packaging, many sourcing types such as organic, local, and non-GMO are labeled on the shelves. Plus, look for the new orange “Inclusive Trade” shelf tags to indicate which products have been certified in offering fair wages and labor practices for their producers. Co-op membership is another great way to make changes in your food system, but no membership is required to shop at the Co-op. All are welcome! Stop by in store any day of the week to learn more about membership and see all the store has to offer. Or visit us online at littletoncoop.com.

Episode XVII: The Return of Ed King

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.
