Quabbin Harvest

Quabbin Harvest We're a community-owned grocery store for the North Quabbin region, open six days a week in Orange. Visit our website for details! www.quabbinharvest.coop.

Quabbin Harvest was launched as the North Quabbin Community Co-operative in 2009 by a group of neighbors and friends in and around Orange. Building on the growing enthusiasm for locally-sourced foods and our area's long history of food production, the group started by selling weekly shares of fresh produce and then opened a small store with other products from the North Quabbin, central Massachuse

tts, the Connecticut River Valley, and beyond. Starting out in the Orange Innovation Center (originally the Minute Tapioca factory), the co-op expanded in 2014 to the former Workers Credit Union building in the center of town, owned by Mount Grace Land Conservation Trust. Mount Grace, like Quabbin Harvest, is committed to supporting local agriculture and helping to keep area farms in operation. Our store is run by a small and dedicated staff with help from members and volunteers who share the vision for a locally-owned food store. We accept SNAP/EBT and participate in the state's Healthy Incentives Program for low-income eaters. In 2018 we added a prepared foods division, crafting delicious and nourishing food to take out, with lots of local ingredients and flavors from around the world. We're proud to be creating jobs, circulating money in our local economy, and contributing the health of our community by providing good food for all. Everyone is welcome to shop at the store, and anyone can become a member-owner by making a one-time payment of $120 (payable in four quarterly installments).

Older buildings and equipment… check. An aging shopper base in a rural area… check. A playing field tilted toward big corporations who get better deals on wholesale prices… check, check, and check.

But like us, the small independent grocery stores profiled in this article hold on because they share the vision of being a community-centered resource as well as a source for food and other necessities.

When you think about where you grew up, how many indie food stores were there? How many are there now?

For rural grocers in Minnesota and everywhere, community helps overcome the industry's struggles
