CHAD AVERY KUZMACK April 5, 2026

Chad Avery Kuzmack was called to be with our Heavenly Father on April 5, 2026. Over his 19 years, Chad grew from a happy kid who was the loudest in any room into a young man who never knew a stranger, just a person he didn’t have a chance to talk to yet.

Chad’s enthusiasm for life was immeasurable – he loved harder Read More

Member, LACM 

My friends, our Co-op needs your help! Last year sales ran at $60k/week, which is enough to sustain, this year we’re running only $50k/week and will close in June without improvement.

If you had problems in the past, please check us out again. Our selection is better, produce is better, prices are more competitive, and it’s only 2 minutes farther away from our downtown than the other alternatives. AND…there is rarely a line! 

Also, did you know that you can now donate to the Co-op through a 501c3 and deduct your donation on next year’s taxes? Read More
