We’ve got a weekly thing going on here at the co-op, with something special to discover every Monday through Saturday. 🗓️

Mondays and Wednesdays, Katie and Gaige cook up delicious meals and sides in the kitchen.👩‍🍳👨‍🍳The grab-n-go cooler is usually fully re-stocked by mid to late afternoon, ready for you to get something on your way home or for lunch the next day.

You can text KITCHEN to 978-251-5607 to get notices of what’s new. Or just watch our social media for updates. 💬

Popular items often go fast but we’ll be happy to save something for you to pick up later that day if you call us at 978-544-6784. 📞

🥖🥐🍰Tuesdays and Thursdays we have amazing fresh breads and pastries from two fantastic local bakeries: Rise Above in Greenfield on Tuesdays and Rose 32 in Hardwick on Thursdays. Come by after midday and you’ll find the bread rack and pastry case brimming with new things.

Plus cookies, of course. 🍪 We bake our own house-made cookies fresh all week long. You may even find some vegan and gluten-free options.

And on Fridays and Saturdays there are delicious ready-to-bake meals to take home with you, all made from scratch in our kitchen. (Check the freezer, too, for more options.) 🍲

And by then it’s nearly Monday again! 👀 Our team works hard all week long to bring good food to our community and to support local farms and other independent food businesses. Come see us in the center of Orange and get to know what we’ve got to offer. (And please like and share this to help get the word out to people who don't know about us already!)

"AOTV has got it together."

We completely agree! Our local-access cable TV station is a wonderful resource for our community, and not just at Food-a-thon time.

We love books about food! And talking about ways to strengthen community food security! And hanging out with the kinds of awesome folks who are working on food and farm issues in our part of the world. If you do too, consider joining us at this great event at the Greenfield Public Library on June 16 where we’ll be part of a panel discussion with friends from American Farmland Trust - New England, the Food Bank of Western Massachusetts, Stone Soup Café Greenfield MA and Greenfield Community College. It should be a fun gathering!

Shout out to Stone Soup Café Greenfield MA, Greenfield Public Library MA - Children's Room, Greenfield Community College, Food Bank of Western Massachusetts Quabbin Harvest and American Farmland Trust for making this awesome panel discussion happen around the topic of food access. The Franklin County Community Meals Program will be tabling at the event and is excited to listen to these amazing speakers in conversation.

Hat tip to our sister co-op Littleton Food Cooperative for this thoughtful explanation of why they display the Pride flag in their store (up in the beautiful White Mountains, if you're ever in their neighborhood).

Food co-ops are more than just grocery stores. We aim to be resources for our communities and places where everyone is welcomed. In fact, "care for community" is one of the seven co-operative principles that guide all co-ops.

Being part of a community isn't always easy! It takes negotiation and listening to each other and a willingness to grow in our own opinions and experiences. In a time when there's a lot of pushback against the many legal and social gains that have been made by LGBTQ+ folk, we're proud to join with other area co-ops in reaffirming our commitment to the core values of equity and inclusion for all our neighbors.

And also there are rainbow bagels from Davidovich in our bagel freezer. Just so you know. 🌈🥯💖

Every year as we prepare to celebrate Pride Month in June, we know there will be a range of reactions to the Pride flag displayed here at the Littleton Food Co-op. Many people see it as a symbol of belonging, support, and visibility. Others may wonder why we display it at all, or ask what it has to do with the work we do every day. "Don't you guys just sell vegetables?" "Stick to your business"

Our mission has always been about more than the products we offer or the services we provide. A cooperative does not exist without the people behind it. It is about creating a place where neighbors can connect, where differences are respected, and where everyone can feel a sense of belonging.

The values we stand for don't change with the calendar. The flag is not a new statement or a seasonal gesture—it is a reflection of who we strive to be all year long. We believe that every person in our community deserves to be treated with dignity, respect, and kindness. We believe our community is stronger when people feel safe being themselves. And, just like our motto says, we believe everyone should know they are welcome here.

A flag alone cannot solve injustice or erase the systemic challenges the LGBTQ+ community continues to face. But symbols matter because they communicate our values. They remind people that they are seen. They tell members of our community that they do not have to wonder whether they belong when they walk through our doors.

So this Pride Month, and every month, the Littleton Food Co-op remains committed to fostering a welcoming and inclusive space for all. We are grateful for the diverse individuals, families, and experiences that make up our community, and we look forward to continuing to learn, grow, and celebrate together.

Everyone is welcome here 💜💚🧡💛
