Skagit Animals In Need
Anacortes Middle School Garden to Kitchen The mission of the Anacortes Middle School Garden to Kitchen program is to help students develop life-long habits and knowledge around sustainably growing and cooking nutrient-rich food. AMS offers two daily “Garden to Kitchen” classes where students apply their science skills in a large garden and six fully outfitted kitchens. Students have physically constructed the garden beds, worm bins, compost bins, fences, benches, a tool shed, a trellis, a patio, and more.
Skagit Animals in Need (SAIN)’s mission is to prevent and respond to animal cruelty in support of law enforcement. SAIN is an all-volunteer, nonprofit organization dedicated to rehabilitating and rehoming large animals and livestock seized in neglect and cruelty cases, or released to animal control or law enforcement. Once in SAIN custody, the animal is placed with a safe foster home, a medical and behavioral assessment is performed, and rehabilitation begins. Once the animal is at a healthy weight and up to date on medical care, it is made available for adoption to loving homes.

customer service awards Clarence I read in the newsletter a suggestion to try new vegetables. Today I found Jicama and asked Clarence about it. He encouraged me to buy it and try it. We ate Jicama raw and cooked in a rice dish. It had a slightly sweet flavor that was delicious.

The Co-op is always a good place to shop for food products. The staff is always helpful and understanding regarding the recent problems with supply. I'll always return to shop again!

Kaitlyn Kaitlyn is an extraordinary worker. I mistakenly bought a vitamin supplement, and was able to quickly and easily return it with her pleasant help.
Galen He's always so helpful. He spends as much time as we need with him. But I have to say everyone at the Co-op are the best around!!! Love ya all!
Probably one of the best co-ops in the state. Their selection of locally grown and organic produce is top notch. Their deli serves a wide range of amazing fair... carne, veggie, or vegan. Great juice bar, huge holistic style supplement health and beauty area, large bulk food section and a fun kitschy gift shop round off this establishment.
