Description

When the only grocery store in town was on the verge of closing, this tight-knit rural community didn’t wait around for a corporate rescue. Instead, they took matters into their own hands—literally. In this episode of Common Folk, we dive into how everyday people banded together to form a cooperative and keep fresh food, jobs, and local pride alive. It’s a story about grit, grassroots action, and what can happen when common folk take uncommon steps to protect what matters.
