We see equity and inclusion as key to fulfilling our mission of working together to nourish our community. As a cooperative business, we are rooted in our beliefs around equality, equity, social responsibility, and harmony, among others. While we stand in opposition to bigotry, inequality, injustice, and gender biases, we realize there is work for us to do. As a Co-op, it is our responsibility to recognize these truths and then do the work.

We are committed to do the personal and organizational work in order to be a welcoming and thriving place. We understand the need to examine patterns at work and in our organization that may be creating barriers to inclusivity. We recognize the need to intentionally encourage an inclusive and equitable environment. We commit to ongoing learning, accountability, and repair when we make mistakes, and to open channels of communication for feedback, creativity, problem solving, and community building.

We welcome feedback and request the support of others in guiding us as we deepen our commitment to this work.
