On Monday, we posted about the potential for the nascent Greene Hill Food Co-op to set up shop in the ramshackle and mostly vacant stretch of storefronts at 18-24 Putnam Avenue in Clinton Hill. Noting what a game-changer it could be for the location, we hoped that the membership would support the move. So we were pleased to learn there was unanimous support among attendees at the co-op meeting last night. As a result, the lease committee will proceed to negotiate a lease with the landlord and hopefully be able to present it to the membership for a final vote in July. Bravo!

  1. I second DK’s comment. As the Outreach Co-chair for the Co-op I encourage all of you who are committed to having this resource in our neighborhood LATER to join up NOW. This won’t happen without the financial support of member/owners.

    Each member/owner invests $150 into the Co-op plus a small administrative fee. There are several ways to invest in the Co-op, including a payment plan and a low-income option. Consider this upfront payment for HUGE savings on groceries for years down the line (just ask your friends who are members at Park Slope Food Co-op how affordable the food is!).

    Not ready to commit financially, but want to help spread the word? Consider joining a committee or representing the Co-op at a tabling event, green market, community meeting or street fair. To get hooked up send an email to: info@greenehillfoodcoop.com
