Nopales!

Nopales 1Certified organic Nopales

The tangy bites of nopales herald warmer weather.

Nopales are vegetables from the prickly pear plant. In the store, the spines have been removed.

They’re generally sold fresh from Mexico to the Southwest U.S.

And in San Francisco!

We like to use these to prepare nopalitos: surprisingly delicious strips of tangy, slightly moist bites that pair well with goat cheese and beans.

The Lavender Moon and Moon Beet snacks are excellent for the tricycle crowd.

Why Shop Co-op?

Parking Day 2012Worker-coops worldwide support non-hierarchal decision-making, fair labor practices, & economic equity.

In the Bay Area alone, there are dozens of Worker-owned cooperatives offering an array of services, including retail, bicycle repair, graphics design, web-hosting, and tech support.

By supporting your local cooperatives, you are supporting democratically-owned and operated businesses who act, in the words of United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, as “a reminder to the international community that it is possible to pursue both economic viability and social responsibility. “
