The Monashee Community Co-operative is a market located in Lumby, B.C. It began in 2013 when some local residents collaborated to organize bulk buying of organic foods at a lower price than nearby Vernon.
Since then, it’s grown to become a vital hub for folks to purchase local, safe, organic, vegan, gluten-free, non-GMO food and an important place for local growers to market their products.
As a Community Service Co-op, Monashee returns all profits to the Co-op for future growth and works to educate, support and nourish the local economy.
The co-op has finally moved to a new, larger location with much effort by members, volunteers and local residents.
Board President Chris Bauman shares more about this valued, grassroots community hub, Have a listen.
