A1 Mission Statement

Through a thriving cooperative enterprise, we encourage a vibrant healthy community and a sustainable local economy.

We discern seven distinct groups comprising our “community,” as follows:

1. Co-op owners
2. Non-owner customers
3. Co-op staff and their families
4. Local suppliers
5. Local community
6. Larger cooperative community
7. Past and future generations of Blue Hill Co-op owners

Blue Hill Co-op Ends:

A2  The Blue Hill Peninsula will have a retail source of food that is fairly priced, healthy, and organically grown and/or processed locally to the fullest extent possible.

This policy shall be monitored annually by the General Manager in a written report to the Board and also by the Board.
