Two New Worker-Owners!

We’re so excited to welcome TWO new worker-owners into our co-op, Kate Hunter and Kat Smith!! As a worker co-operative, Real Pickles strives to create good local jobs with shared profits and empower our staff to direct the future of our business. We are proud to be part of the co-operative movement to build and strengthen democratic economies in our community and beyond. Kat says she’s “excited to be part of a team of people that is working toward restructuring the way businesses are run in the community.” Kate is glad to be taking on this meaningful role in a business with a mission that she believes in. By expanding workplace democracy in our business, we ensure that there are more voices shaping our collective economic future. We are so excited for Kat and Kate to join us in determining what our co-op will look like in the years to come!

Today’s the day to stand up for SNAP!

SNAP helps families put food on the table and strengthens our farms, grocers, and local economies. But Congress is considering cuts that would increase hunger and weaken our communities.

Email and call your members of Congress using the link in our bio. We’re proud to join partners across the Northeast to protect SNAP.
