The fund—created to help Greene Hill members impacted by the Trump administration’s cuts to SNAP funding during the government shutdown—was created to provide $50 Co-op gift cards to member-owners facing difficulty purchasing food.

Member-owner Emily Nonko shares a recipe for elderberry and rosemary scones, from Evening Song Farm, a Vermont CSA (below). She just tried it and says they turned out great!

There is no purple shade as lucious as the purple of an eggplant -- and they are bountiful in the store. Stop by for one, two, or three for your next meal. You can try cooking with different eggplant varieties, too!

Much thanks to Leila Darabi for writing a fantastic article in Park Slope Food Coop’s Linewaiters’ Gazette that contextualizes our current situation and drive for new members. The article includes quotes from our General Manager Joel and Board Members and shows that together we can build a thriving community.

Meditating for Black Lives, a local organization that supports community efforts to heal oppression using principles and practices of various meditation traditions, hosted their very first meditation session in Herbert von King Park last June. “We were just going to meditate and think and hold this space for each other in light of the deaths of Ahmaud Arbery, George Floyd and countless others. That’s what was going to happen,” says founder Brittany Micek.

That’s not exactly what happened. 2,000 people showed up on that summer morning to what would be the first of many community meditations in Bed-Stuy and Brownsville.

Aukstā Zupa, which means “pink soup,” is a very common dish throughout the little Baltic country of Latvia on these hot summer days. It’s a colorful, refreshing and healthy feast of summer ingredients.

Summer is here, and there’s no better way to enjoy the warm weather than to bring out the grill. Available in the Co-op, Breukelen Rub’s flavorful spice blends will elevate any dish and spice up your grilling season.

Meet Joel, the Co-op’s new General Manager! With a background in the hospitality and food-service industry, he’s motivated by the pursuit of food justice and equality. You will likely meet Joel whenever you are working a shift, or maybe even while shopping.

For many of us, last summer was the impetus for advocacy against systemic racism. But it’s critical we honor those who have been working for decades to dismantle it. Bedford Stuyvesant Restoration Corporation is one such organization.

This is a minimal-effort, maximal-reward recipe that is all about technique. The whole dish takes around 10 minutes of active preparation and another 10 minutes spent in excited anticipation while the chicken finishes cooking by itself. Easy peasy.

In the process of incorporating more vegetables into my diet, I found Fire Ox’s quick and easy frozen meals in our co-op. These vegan, low-gluten and nut free-meals are not just quick to prepare, they’re filled with vegetables and will give you the ease of a frozen meal without the guilt.

Hi everyone! My name is Paige. I am a new member of the Co-op, a relatively new member of the neighborhood, and a recent addition to the content team!

Bed Stuy Bike Shop is more than a bike repair shop: It serves as a hub for the Central Brooklyn cycling community, a space for neighborhood development and a model for fair-labor practices in the bicycle industry.

Even when we are just too tired or too busy to think about preparing something complicated, it’s possible to whip up delicious meals.

What if I told you that one of the best cheeses I’ve ever had from the Co-op is vegan?
