The co-op sources locally-grown foods from more than 70 suppliers, and also features a Community Wellness Hub with yoga and exercise classes. Plans for a community teaching kitchen with healthy cooking classes are also underway. To learn more about the Urban Co-Op and the local food businesses they support, visit their website.
