Another food coop opens up near Fort Greene
What's better than one local Food Coop for us to mock relentlessly?
A second food coop! The cutesy named "Greene Hill Food Coop," whose member-run supermarket opened this past weekend, is located at 18 Putnam Avenue between the Fort Greene and Clinton Hill neighborhoods.
As it turns out, the organic apple doesn't fall far from the local, sustainable tree. Just like the Park Slope Food Coop, the new shop will require members to work 2-hour shifts every month for access to its organic produce, meat and dairy.
