A gift certificate for an annual membership to the co-op is a great holiday gift idea; as an added bonus your donation of $100 per household is tax deductible since the store is a non-profit organization. While you don’t have to be a member to shop, members receive perks such as a 10% discount on the 1st & 3rd Saturday of every month, plus complimentary classes and educational events. You can also feel proud that you are helping to strengthen our region’s network of local farms and entrepreneurs, because the store serves as an incubator for over 50 local businesses, ranging from small scale farmers who use sustainable growing techniques to makers of non-toxic home and body care products.
Grassroots Grocery is creating a vibrant, adaptive reuse of a formerly vacant historic building, holding valuable educational classes and events, supporting nearby community gardens, and commissioned the creation of a beautiful mural on the building which added color and character to the Ridge Street corridor. Please stop by 415 Ridge Street, just a few blocks off Broadway, to check out the delicious offerings today!
