2014 Member Satisfaction Survey Results
Thank you to the 385 Co-op owners and shoppers who took our 2015 Shopper Survey!
This survey is one of the key inputs we use in planning store improvements and direction. Your feedback is much appreciated as management, staff, and Board strive to understand your concerns and meet your needs.
Q3 Bag Token Program
The Co-op is pleased as punch to announce the two local non-profits that we are partnering with for the Bag Token program this quarter!
From the Ground Up Farms
"From The Ground Up is an organization dedicated to improving the lives of Butte County residents by providing fresh, healthy organically grown produce to those in need and to the kitchens that serve in economically challenged areas. Better nutrition leads to better performance, and better performance leads to more healthy and prosperous lives. We install community gardens and teach gardening/nutrition education. Our gardens donate everything for free to food programs/pantries.
Can’t you just imagine every food box containing fresh produce? We can and we are doing something about it! We have community gardens in various neighborhoods, vegetarian daycare's, elementary schools, residential facilities for folks with mental illness and even the Torres Shelter. Then we follow the gardens with workshops on anything from gardening, cooking, nutrition, etc. We are even about to start educational workshops with Butte County Juvenile Probation's garden in Oroville. "
G.R.U.B. Education Program
GRUB Education Program is rooted in bringing hands-on learning experiences to both kids & adults in the community. GRUB focuses on growing, preserving, preparing, and gleaning food. GRUB Ed also is developing a tool lending library in addition to its already established zero waste events rental program.
Introducing HowGood
The Co-op recently submitted our entire store’s inventory to the research firm HowGood. HowGood thoroughly evaluates products and then informs consumers about the food they purchase.

You, the Co-op owners, are the life blood and guiding force of the store. Your purchasing decisions, requests, and requirements are what determines the content of our shelves, the direction of our donations, and the future of our organization. An enthusiastic, engaged body of owners makes for a healthy, thriving Co-op. With all that in mind, the Co-op staff challenged itself in the month of May to succeed at an Ownership drive.
