Local

The Co-op is committed to supporting local producers and providing local goods for shoppers to purchase. Our local items carry red signs which identify the product and the farm/vendor who produced the item(s). Fostering a healthy, local food system is one of the ways we practice the Oneota Co-op mission and organizational Ends. 

Organic

Organic foods are grown without the use of synthetic pesticides, fertilizers or other chemicals. They do not use genetically modified (GMO) seeds. Organic farming practices sustainably enhance the health of our land, water, and living things.

Fair Trade

Fair Trade is a global movement made up of a diverse network of producers, companies, consumers and advocates that prioritize people and our planet. This label indicates fair prices and safe working conditions for laborers, company transparency, and sustainable business practices.

Certified B

B Corp Certification is a designation that a business is meeting high standards of verified performance, accountability, and transparency. A B Corp treats its employees well, treats the planet well, actively works to better itself and openly shares information. The Co-op carries many Certified B Corp companies.

Leaping Bunny

Leaping Bunny Certification pertains to US and Canadian companies and indicates that an organization is not a party to animal testing of any cosmetic or household product. Companies also must not contract or purchase ingredients from another entity that conducts animal testing.

Real Organic Project

Producers involved in the Real Organic Project (ROP) have indicated that their food or product was fostered in soil and/or that livestock is raised on pasture, not in confinement. The ROP’s focus centers on soil, water, land and the living things that are sustained by them. 

Inclusive

This signage indicates the many items on our shelves created by people who identify as women, Black, Indigenous, people of color (POC), LGBTQIA+, persons with disabilities and veterans. A diverse supply chain promotes innovation, a healthier competitive environment, customer choice, equitable distribution and a more just society.

Co-op Trade

Our blue Co-op Trade indicators inform shoppers that the entity creating a product is a fellow cooperative. Co-ops build community resilience and economic empowerment. Co-ops follow the cooperative principles. Specifically, Co-op Principle 6 addresses the importance of co-ops working together with other cooperatives.

Non-GMO

A Genetically Modified Organism (GMO) is a plant or animal created through the process of genetic engineering: This process manipulates DNA for desired results. GMO foods are a topic that may generate strong feelings regarding how one evaluates the data. We invite Co-op shoppers to learn more about GMO foods, with links to studies and labeling legislation, here: https://www.grocery.coop/fresh-from-the-source/what-is-a-gmo/
