The Growing Green Co-op is a hybrid co-op featuring local green business owners (small, family-owned enterprises consisting of farmers, artisans, contractors, retailers, bakers, chefs, consultants, specialty service providers and more) and the consumers looking for the products and services offered. Essentially, the co-op serves as a link between the two - helping consumers through the maze of "green" sustainable stuff while helping business owners build more sustainable business practices.
Are you interested in:
...a healthier lifestyle?
...organic produce delivered weekly?
