"I feel so fortunate to be part of our local co-op that is beautiful, accessible, and committed to the democratic values important to me. All of us, by virtue of being owners, support local farmers, local decision-making, and local involvement in the community. Upon retirement from my position as a professor at UNCG, I was delighted to become a Board member so I could contribute more to Deep Roots’ future, as is evidenced in the collective wisdom of the Board that helps the co-op grow and thrive."
