Dear Owners,
We hope that you and yours are healthy and safe during this trying time. This pandemic has affected us all, and we want to reassure you that we are here for you.
Our management and staff have gone above and beyond to keep our co-op safe and accessible. We, as a Board and as owners, are extremely grateful to our incredible management and staff for making the Co-op as safe as possible for you and for remaining diligent and committed to serving our community.
We also want to thank you for continuing to support our co-op. In a time when employment is uncertain for so many, we are happy and proud to be able to continue to offer our staff a fun, friendly, and safe place of work. Thank you!
The Co-op’s mission has always been to bring healthy, nutritious, sustainable food to our community. And at a time when your health, our health, everyone’s health is paramount, we continue to strive to serve our community and offer the highest quality foods available.

We, as the Co-op’s Board of Directors, continue to diligently monitor the health, performance, and future viability of the organization. Though the COVID-19 pandemic has cast a shadow on so many of our lives, we want to assure you that the future of our co-op is very bright, and our place in the community is secure. We continue to work closely with the Co-op’s general manager, Liza, to ensure the success and stability of the Co-op, now and for years to come.
Our Board meetings, which are held on the last Wednesday of every month, are now taking place virtually and, as with all Co-op board meetings, are open to all owners.
Recently, we secured a long-term lease extension at our current location and we are planning a full redesign and remodel of the store. We will be funding the majority of this remodel with investments from our owners (you!). We plan to relaunch the investment campaign this fall. In the meantime, if you are interested or if you have any questions about investing, please contact Joey Haney at JHaney@chiconaturalfoods.coop.
Thank you all for being part of our wonderful community and for continuing to support our (and your) co-op, staff, and local food producers. We wouldn’t be here without you.
Please stay healthy, stay happy, and eat well. We are here for you – and we always will be.
