A Special Note of Thanks to our Co+op Staff
We want to give enormous thanks to our heroes – the Co+op’s staff. Our staff are working longer hours managing through COVID-19, managing their own health and that of their loved ones, working with our farmers and suppliers (who have their own pressures now too), and doing the hundreds of things that keep our doors open and our store safe. The Co+op staff are the people who put your order together, check back with you, process your payment, and work to get the order to you. To each of our staff, we are incredibly grateful. You are front-line heroes.
Please contact us at info@mustardseed.coop or call us at (289) 492-2667 for more information or if you have any questions. Thank you for working through this process with us, and please stay safe!
