Often times we struggle to clearly articulate the vision of the co-op. Some may mistakenly think it’s a buying club or a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture). Some may have never heard of a co-op (let alone visited!) one and getting buy-in (literally!) can be a challenge.
Until now. Jon Steinman, author of Grocery Story: The Promise of Food Co-ops in the Age of Grocery Giants has created a GORGEOUS book (available digitally as well) that uses 270 beautiful images of community owned grocery stores to visually articulate the co-op vision.
Tabling? Keep this book on your table and open it up when asked about the co-op. Speaking at a local Rotary Club (or any group!)? Pass it around while you’re talking. Hosting House Parties? Highlight your favorite photos and give attendees a chance to look through it. The uses for this book are endless. It’s a sorely needed resource. Buy one for your co-op and download the FREE digital version. Trust me. You need this. Kudos to Jon for making this much needed resource available.
