Common Ground is almost like my second home. I go there 3-4 times a week it seems - either to pick up something I forgot, do my weekly grocery shopping, or grab lunch. I don't think I've ever been in another store that is so full of helpful and welcoming employees, with the shelves so stocked with quality and local items. The Co-Op also has a selection of classes where you can learn anything from how to cook Thai food to floral arrangements, and these classes are either free or reasonably priced with the option to receive assistance if you are unable to pay the fee. Common Ground is so much more than a grocery store - it's a community resource and hub for growing and learning together.
