From our customers:

"The number of employees here who have been employed with the company for 2+ years, some even having been
here for 10+ is truly a testament to the company itself. The staff all seem to be not only comfortable with each
other but friends with each other, which is the type of atmosphere you just do not get in a regular grocery store.
You have cultivated an incredibly non-toxic work environment. 10/10"

helps with my own positive experience at the coop."
