Ukiah Natural Foods is guided by The International Cooperative Principles, which include a commitment to work for the sustainable development of local communities. The Co-op Community Grants & Donations program is a reflection of this commitment. Beyond that, we're dedicated to cultivating a culture of people who appreciate farmers and real food. Together, we're doing our part to nourish the place we call home.
OUR COMMITMENT
In addition to supporting our community in a variety of ways, Ukiah Natural Foods works to reduce waste, create living wage jobs, and embrace energy saving technologies and ideas. We know that in order for a place to grow and stay well, everyone must do their part. We try to lead by example and invite everyone in Ukiah to do the same!
