Hampden Park Co-op serves its members and community by providing delicious and wholesome food grown in an ecologically sound manner and by involving its members in the process from field to table. Our mutual mission is grounded in respect: for the growers who deserve to make a fair wage and work in safe conditions, for the earth and the limited resources available, and for the eaters who deserve clean and healthy food. This work we do together has only grown in importance since the co-op opened its doors over 30 years ago.
It’s time now to make some important decisions, and the co-op’s Board of Directors would like your help in deciding how the co-op will move forward sustainably.
