NEW! Co-op Certified Deli

December 6, 2012 by Swarthmore Co-op

With the start of our new Co-op Certified program, our deli has adopted Applegate deli meats and cheeses as our own. Why, you ask? We believe Applegate deli meats, and all their products for that matter, are products that support food responsibility and healthy eating. Stephen McDonnell, CEO of Applegate Farms, founded Applegate because of his “love/hate” relationship with meat. Like many others in America, Stephen is an avid meat lover, but he is disgusted by the treatment and livelihood of the animals. […]

Introducing The New SwaCoop Deli

August 31, 2012 by Swarthmore Co-op

“In the last 70 years—a tiny blip in the history of farming—cruel, unsustainable factory farms have come to produce more than 99 percent of the animals grown in the United States. Globally, livestock now cover 30 percent of the earth’s surface, and as a result of modern fishing techniques, scientists are measuring an overall drop in the health and diversity of ocean life. During this same period, these new farming methods have devastated rural communities by reducing the number of […]

Got (Raw) Milk?

August 29, 2012 by Swarthmore Co-op

If only buying milk was as simple as it sounds. Of course you have your skim, 1%, 2%, and whole. But, what about almond milk and buttermilk? Powdered milk? Milk with added omega 3’s and calcium? Kefir?! And to think we haven’t even mentioned raw milk yet!          More and more I’ve been noticing the debate between pasteurized and raw milk. Some swear by the stuff, while others have gone as far as making sure it’s banned in […]
