These are hands-down my favorite popsicles! Only three ingredients, frozen mango, yogurt, and a little maple syrup and it will change your life for the better. It's so good, you'll wish you doubled the batch.

What you'll need for Mango Lassi Popsicles:

2 cups Wyman's frozen mango

1 cup Seven Stars Farm organic original plain yogurt

2 T. Field Day maple syrup

popsicle molds / empty ice cube tray with toothpicks & saran wrap

blender / food processor 

These popsicles are so simple to make, kid-friendly, and 100% fruit! Just blend up kiwis and delicious watermelon and you can have the most refreshing treat with no added sugar! Add the kiwi purée first and you will get that nice separation.

Join us Thursday, April 16 for our annual Financial Meeting Of Owners!

Hello Cooperators!

First things first--I want to thank all of our owners and customers who come into Common Ground and take some time to show their appreciation to our staff for being here. It means so much to all of us that we are acknowledged for the daily risk we take just by showing up for work. I want to give special thanks to those who were encouraging our staff even before COVID-19 came to our country. 

The Effects of Shopping Local On Your Friends & Neighbors

Small local farms and businesses are excellent for the economy because they create jobs. By supporting local producers, you contribute to helping your friends, neighbors and other community members find sustainable employment. In addition, they often develop a close network between themselves, and their local buyers. This builds relationships among community members, which fosters a sense of belonging and togetherness within the community.

When my husband and I moved here, we joined the Co-op because it is locally owned and stocks local products, which helps bring the community together and allows people to make a difference.

Dear Cooperators, welcome to March! 

Here at Common Ground we have been working on a very exciting project that will be unveiled on March 5th. This  just so happens to be the beginning of Owner Appreciation Days!

‘Thinking with Two Minds’: Reflections of a Staff Board Director

Hello Cooperators!

Occasionally my spouse and I, and a few other people I know, banter about the results of  “new studies” on current grocery shopping trends that surface.
