In partnership with Sandbar Storytelling Festival and Project Fine, Winona County Historical Society presents a public talk on “The Past and Present with Bluff Country Co-op.”
Since 1972, the Bluff Country Co-op has been part of Winona’s downtown — led by grassroots efforts of community members committed to building a grocery store that opened as “Famine Foods” on Second Street. Since those early days, the food co-op has grown from a fully volunteer-led organization to a name change, new location, expanded footprint, and the community-focused store we know today.
Led by a volunteer board, the Bluff Country Co-op and its 2,000+ members serve the community through a cooperative business model and mindset. Revel in the nostalgia of this local Winona treasure with presentations by Michael Doyle, the co-op’s first full-time employee, Lizzy Haywood, former General Manager, and Heather Kitching, current General Manager on August 13th.
