Windsor Terrace Food Coop founders and members, along with Assemblymember Robert Carroll and Councilmember Shahana Hanif, celebrated the Coop's 10-year history with a kombucha toast and discussed its work to serve the community, including during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Coop was first created to address the loss of neighborhood grocery stores in 2012 and ensure that the Windsor Terrace and Kensington communities had continued access to healthy, local and organic food.
The Coop first opened its door at 825 Caton Avenue in March 2015 after three years of community organizing. Nearly 800 neighbors have been members during our first seven years of store operation.
Over the years, the Coop has increased the number of products on its shelves, including from local bakeries and other Brooklyn-made goods, as well as organic produce from farms in the New York City area.
The Coop has continued to serve an important role in the community, and during the pandemic partnered with local restaurants to take over their ingredient orders.
It also worked with local community groups like People in Need (https://www.peopleinneed.org/
The Coop also kicked off its latest Open House event, which will allow all community members to walk in and shop on the following days:
Thursdays: 3 pm - 8 pm
Fridays: 9:30 am - 11:30 am & 4 pm - 7 pm
Saturdays: 10 am - 4 pm
The Coop will remain open to members only on Sundays and Monday. Members of any other Brooklyn food coop are also welcome to shop at any time.
