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.
