La Montañita Co-op

La Montañita Co-op is a community-owned grocery store and natural foods cooperative based in New Mexico. It focuses on providing organic, locally sourced, and sustainable products. Members of the co-op can buy shares and enjoy benefits like discounts and voting rights on key decisions. La Montañita emphasizes supporting local farmers, promoting healthy eating, and fostering a sense of community.
