We carry several bulk, organic, healthy snack options, including “chunks of energy” (Carob Supergreens, Cha Cha Chia, or Date Flax Turmeric), and our new-ish puffed quinoa chocolate bites (made of chia, maca, 60% chocolate paste, and puffed quinoa). These snacks are delivered through UNFI and Tootsi. You can purchase them in your own containers, and they are all certified organic. Come try them!!

Sfoglini pastas combine Italian technique and American ingredients. They are made in New York’s Hudson Valley with organic grains grown and milled on North American farms, bronze die extruded (resulting in a rough texture that makes the sauce stick) and slow dried (to preserve flavors and nutrients). Sfoglini was founded in Brooklyn in 2012 before moving to Coxsackie, New York, in 2018. More info and recipes: https://www.sfoglini.com/pages/recipes

The co-op has been selling products from Canaan Fair Trade since 2018. In 2021, Canaan increased their wholesale pricing due to low yields from the 2020 olive harvest and the impact of COVID-19 on their business and the family farm cooperatives they work with across 52 villages in Palestine. Pricing has slightly increased in 2024 in response to a difficult 2023 olive harvest impacted by violence in the West Bank, roadblocks, and movement restrictions.
In order to support Palestinian farmers and offer their goods at a fair price to shoppers, the co-op sells Canaan products at slightly above wholesale cost (with no additional shopper discounts at the register).

Thank you to all the members who joined our annual in-person meeting on Sunday! It was great to see the energy coming from a lot of new members as well as the long-term ones.
Lots of great ideas have emerged to improve our co-op and keep being the best (and only!) member-run, open to the public, cooperative, organic, zero-waste, local, vegetarian/vegan, affordable, and welcoming store in the East Village!
