I grew up in a working class Italian family in Boston. We didn’t have co-ops, but we did have a deep connection to food. In my 20s, I had a transformative experience farming in Europe and came home a hungry food justice activist. I found refuge in co-ops. Unlike conventional grocery stores, co-ops are living, breathing features in a community — you can connect to others and to food there in a meaningful way. Our co-op has a character and a life of its own. It is a critical engine for our local economy. I love being a part of something that nourishes the place we live, literally and figuratively.
