Know Our Grower: Featherstone Farm

Come meet the people who grow our food! Featherstone Farm will be at the Friendship store Friday, Oct. 25 from 3-6 p.m.

About Featherstone Farm
Beginning in May with leaf lettuce, through a summer’s harvest of zucchini and cherry tomatoes, into winter squash and carrots in the winter, there’s hardly a month that Featherstone isn’t represented in the co-op’s Produce department. The farm is certified organic and is dedicated to creating a truly sustainable agriculture system. That includes geothermal heating and cooling for the packing shed, as well as a solar array that generates about 60% of the farm’s energy. Featherstone also operates a large community-supported agriculture program.

Product Commitment

Seward Community Co-op carries a wide variety of products to meet the differing needs of our shoppers. Our dedication to sustaining a healthy community leads us to emphasize the Community Foods: Values Every Day program, which supports producers with at least two of these qualities:

  • Inclusive i.e. people of color, women, LGBTQIA+, disabled and/or veteran owned
  • Small scale
  • Local i.e. Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa
  • Cooperative
  • Sustainable

With our history in natural foods, we remain committed to offering products with straightforward ingredients. We value organic certification to provide assurance that foods are grown and processed safely and sustainably. We also provide options to those with specific dietary needs.

As a cooperative, we believe in the power of economic democracy. Rather than discontinuing a product line during a boycott, we encourage shoppers to vote with their dollars.

Friendship In-Store Music: Natalie Fideler

December 15, 2019 @ 11:00 am - 2:00 pm

Natalie Fideler is a composer and singer-songwriter currently based in Minneapolis, MN. Her chosen genre is ‘alternative pop’ which is riddled with honesty and influenced by everything from Bikini Kill to Beethoven. Through the use of colorful harmonies, intricate lyrics, stylistic double-dipping, and cheeky honesty, Fideler seeks to inspire deeper thought and personal reflection via catchy tunes.
