Local Vendors in Keene
At the Monadnock Food Co-op, we strive to build stronger relationships with our local producers to ensure we all thrive.
Growing Together: Local Producer E-Newsletter
Thank you, organic local food growers and producers, for participating in our inaugural Producer Survey — a collaboration between Monadnock Food Co-op and Cheshire Country Conservation District. We plan to offer this survey every other year to track our progress and identify new trends.
As we dove into the survey results and created a plan to help support our local producers better, we decided to launch our first course of action — sending out our first Monadnock Food Co-op Producer E-Newsletter, local vendors in Keene. we are excited to introduce the “Healthy Food Program in NH” to our community.
Past Producer E-Newsletters
We will send out this e-newsletter four times a year. Have things you’d love us to highlight? Please send an email to our Community Coordinator, Megan Lafaso Hercher. Additionally, we are planning a “Donation Drive in Keene” to support our local food banks and shelters, demonstrating our co-op’s commitment to community well-being
