Demo: Yosi Kitchen Schug
2025-04-24 15:00 - 18:00 | Green Fields Market, 144 Main St., Greenfield, 01301, United States
Schug is a bright green and delicious condiment. Pronounced with the guttural ‘ch’ as in ‘Bach’ – like “schoog”. The taste is spicy in both senses of the word – it’s SO savory and packed with flavor and has an edge but is pretty mild. It’s all about the flavor. A blend of cilantro and chili peppers. Eat it with everything; straight up as a salsa, spice up some eggs, flavor to a sandwich, add to pasta for a spicy ‘pesto’, or a meat or fish rub.

Forum: Defining Our Shared Co-op Values

What you value matters: Please join us to at a forum to define our shared Co-op values! The Board is exploring what values Co-op member-owners hold most dear. These will serve as a guidepost for future decisions and priorities.
As you may know, the Board is in the midst of re-evaluating our “Ends” policies.
Under our system of governance, Ends policies are specific goals the Board provides to the general manager with regard to running the organization. We have come to realize that a broader set of ideas – our shared values – would help balance and guide these operational targets.
We request your assistance in defining our shared Co-op values!
You may also send us your thoughts directly to Values@franklincommunity.coop.Tell us what role you feel co-ops in general and FCC specifically should play today? What do you care most about?
