Happy International Women's Day! ☀️
International Women’s Day (IWD) has been celebrated annually on March 8 since 1911. The day honors the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women while serving as a call to accelerate gender equality. IWD belongs to everyone who cares about equity—celebrate women’s achievements, raise awareness about discrimination, and take action to advance gender parity.
We are celebrating IWD by shining a spotlight on some of our woman-owned brands such as The Unscented Company, American Wine Project, and Madtown Soap that grace our shelves. Check out their stories by clicking the Celebrating IWD 🔗 in our bio.

After years of nourishing our community, Beth Kazmar and Steve Pincus of Tipi Produce have announced their retirement.
From their farm in Evansville, Tipi Produce has been a longtime partner (since 1981!) and trusted grower for our Co-op, bringing us cabbage, carrots, daikon, celeriac, and so much more over the years. Their care for the land and commitment to quality have made a lasting impact on our stores and our community.
Their final deliveries are expected mid-March for cabbage and early April for carrots, daikon, and celeriac. Driftless Organics out of Soldiers Grove will take over as our carrot supplier—a farm you may already know as our summer carrot source and provider of 3 lb bagged carrots. Tipi will continue their u-pick strawberry and plum tomato harvests though so you can visit the farm. www.tipiproduce.com/berry-upicks/
We are incredibly grateful to Beth and Steve for their partnership, dedication, and friendship over the years. Please join us in celebrating them and share a favorite Tipi Produce memory or message of thanks in the comments.
Thank you, Beth and Steve! We wish you all the best in your well-earned retirement!
