“Being on the board is a chance to learn, contribute, and help shape the future of an organization that plays an important role in our community.
You don’t need to be an expert in the world of groceries, cooperatives, or policy governance. You don’t need to have a particular professional background. What matters most is that you care about The Merc and want to help it thrive.”

“This month, our co-op was provided with the tremendous opportunity of having fellow cooperative leadership peers from all over the country visit our co-op and provide feedback about things like merchandising, operations, and structure. What an exciting opportunity to practice cooperative principle number 6 – ‘cooperation among cooperatives.’”
“In May, some Board members including our General Manager, Seth Naumann, had the opportunity to attend the CCMA Conference in Tacoma, WA. The Consumer Cooperative Management Association (CCMA) is the longest standing national gathering of retail food co-op leaders in the US. It’s an inclusive space that welcomes a broad range of food co-op leaders; from managers and staff to board members and cooperative allies. The goal is to learn, connect, collaborate and refuel to execute the hard work of empowering communities and building a more just and sustainable food system through a cooperative model.”

“…on May 20, I was part of a panel of representatives from several different cooperatives, sponsored by the Kansas Farmers Union (another farmers co-op founded in 1907). This was part of their new program called Homegrown Prosperity where they are prepared to identify and help groups where a cooperative might be a solution to a community’s problem.
Among the participants on the panel were a representative for FreeState Electric Cooperative, Central Plains Organic Farmers Association, and the Kansas City Food Hub.
All participants agreed cooperatives were tools for solving problems faced by different communities.”
Beginning July 1, all paper bags with handles will incur a 10¢ fee at checkout. This fee will help offset the rising cost of paper bags (now 24¢ each and expected to increase).
We’ll continue to offer cardboard boxes and small bags at no charge, and of course we encourage shoppers to bring your own reusable bags whenever possible.
To help make the transition a little easier, the first 50 shoppers to spend $100 or more in July will receive one of our brand new reusable totes with their purchase!
As always, thank you for your understanding and for your support.
