A consistent complaint about the organic and sustainable food market is price. Seward Co-op is too small a store to correct market realities single-handedly, but we do believe in making economic relationships in our co-op as equal as possible.

So we created “Nourish,” a program aimed at making healthy foods and buying co-op ownership more accessible for everyone.

So, Nourish is for YOU, if you:

• Want to save money shopping at Seward Co-op.

• Would like to cook great recipes that feed four — for $10 or less!

• Would like to attend free “Nourish 101” classes to discover healthier eating.

• Value simple living and getting back to basics.

We want to welcome folks to Nourish especially if you…

• Receive federal dollars for groceries.

• Want to buy ownership to the co-op but live on a very limited budget.

Here’s how you can take part in Nourish:

• Pick up a list of Nourish Staples (available at Customer Service) showing all the Nourish items in the store.

• Look for the white-on-green Nourish “N,” highlighting Nourish staples. These are some of the best values for your dollar.

• Try a Nourish recipe. These are easy to make, feed four, and priced under $10 (under $15, if the recipe includes meat.)

• Check out seward.coop’s calendar for opportunities to sample Nourish recipes at the store.

• Sign up at Customer Service for a Nourish class or check the website to see which classes are available. They’re free for everyone!

• All co-op shoppers who have financial need may apply for our everyday needs-based discount of 10% (previously 5%). Visit Customer Service to apply.

Stop by Seward Co-op on Saturday, September 6, for our big Nourish Kickoff!
