While the owner is out of town, the person staffing the market calls him for us, and we leave samples for them to try.
Inside, we’re greeted by a friendly little dog in a sweater. The farmstand is a cozy stop with a delightful variety of local goods. Hooksett is home to Johnson Golden Harvest, a family-owned farmstand that provides locally grown produce and pasture-raised meats year-round. It isn’t until I start working on this blog post, many months later, that I reach out to Beth and hear the good news-Concord Food Co-op was one of Food Connects’ new customers in 2022.Īfter leaving the Concord Food Co-op, we eat our lunch in the car and make a few more stops around town before heading to Hooksett, NH. But sometimes, it makes all the difference. A promising conversation doesn’t always result in the new customers we’re hoping for. One of the interesting things about making sales trips is that we can’t be sure which potential customers we’ll end up onboarding until Beth is back in the office in the weeks after, following up with them. Beth and Linda have promising discussions with the staff and then peruse the shelves, looking at their local offerings and the gaps our Food Hub could fill. We’re optimistic that this co-op, focused on selling quality natural, local, organic, and fair-trade foods that are ethically sourced, will see the value in working with a food hub with regionally-produced, source-identified foods. Centrally located in downtown Concord, NH, the co-op describes itself as a democratic grocery store, bakery, and café collectively owned by customers. In Concord, we stop at the Concord Food Co-op.
