Fort Greene Food Co-op.
As a member of a Fort Greene Association subcommittee on commercial development in the area, I suggested the inclusion of a food co-op as an option on the residents’ survey that’s currently circulating. So I was thrilled to read that DK Holland and Kathryn Zarczynski are already on top of the idea and working to bring it to fruition. If you’re also keen to have an affordable, healthy, community-minded grocery co-op closer than Park Slope, check out the Fort Greene Food Co-op blog here.
Update: The first organizing meeting for the Fort Greene/Clinton Hill Food Co-op will be on Wednesday, January 23 at the Lafayette Avenue Presbyterian Church at 85 South Oxford (btw Lafayette and Greene aves.) from 7 to 8:30pm. On the agenda for discussion: Why do we need/want a co-op? What it will take to start it? What support do we have now? What will the structure of the co-op be? What’s on our wish list? How can other co-ops help us?
