A Letter from our Store Leader Jeremiah McDuffie reflecting on his first year with the Co-op.
As I sit down to reflect on my first year of leadership at the Oshkosh Food Co-op, I am filled with immense pride in our team mixed with gratitude, and optimism for the future. The past year has been a journey of growth, learning, and transformation for our beloved co-op. We’ve faced challenges, celebrated victories, and built stronger connections with our community. But one thing remains clear: the best is yet to come. This weekend, we have geared up for our Member-Owner Days, a special celebration dedicated to honoring the heart and soul of our co-op—our member-owners. As I look forward to greeting each of you personally tomorrow, I want to take this moment to reflect on the incredible milestones we’ve achieved together and why I am more confident than ever that our future is bright.*A Year of Record Growth*When I first stepped into my role as a leader at the Oshkosh Food Co-op, I knew that I was joining something special. We are now establishing ourselves as a vital hub for local food, sustainability, and community-driven business. The sheer resilience and passion that our member-owners, shoppers, staff, and partners have demonstrated in the face of the many challenges has given us even more reason to believe in our future together. Despite economic uncertainties and shifting market conditions, we saw record-breaking numbers of shoppers walking through our doors. Month after month, our sales exceeded expectations, reflecting not just the demand for quality local products, but also the trust and loyalty our community has placed in us. These milestones weren’t achieved by chance. They were the result of collective efforts from every corner of our organization. From the diligent work of our team to the passionate support of our member-owners, everyone played a crucial role in driving us toward success. And while it’s tempting to look at these numbers and rest on our laurels, I believe they are just the beginning of something even greater.At the core of our success is the simple yet powerful truth that the Oshkosh Food Co-op belongs to its community. Unlike traditional grocery stores, our co-op operates on a cooperative business model, meaning that it is owned and governed by the people who shop here. This member-owner structure ensures that every decision we make is guided by the needs and desires of the people we serve. Over the past year, we’ve seen firsthand how this community-driven approach leads to tangible benefits. We’ve been able to source more local products than ever before, helping to support farmers, artisans, and food producers in our region. This not only strengthens the local economy but also ensures that our shoppers have access to the freshest, most sustainably produced goods available. Our commitment to ethical sourcing and transparency has also resonated with shoppers. People want to know where their food comes from, how it’s produced, and who is behind it. At the Oshkosh Food Co-op, we’ve worked hard to build those connections between producer and consumer, fostering a sense of trust and accountability that is rare in today’s food industry.One of the most exciting developments over the past year has been our record-breaking sales and the increasing number of shoppers who choose to make Oshkosh Food Co-op their primary grocery store. This growth is a testament to the value we provide—whether it’s through our carefully curated selection of local and organic products, our commitment to sustainability, or the warm, welcoming atmosphere that greets every shopper. In many ways, our co-op has become more than just a place to buy groceries. It’s become a gathering place, a center for community engagement, and a hub for education around food systems, nutrition, and sustainability. We’ve hosted workshops, cooking demonstrations, community meals, and community events that have brought people together and deepened their connection to the co-op and each other. This sense of belonging and shared purpose has been a driving force behind our success. People want to be part of something meaningful, and at Oshkosh Food Co-op, they find that meaning in the form of a community-owned grocery store that reflects their values and aspirations. Along with exciting developments, one of the most important lessons we’ve learned this year is the importance of adaptability. In a rapidly changing world, the ability to pivot and respond to new circumstances is crucial. Whether it’s adjusting our inventory to meet shifting consumer preferences or finding innovative ways to engage with our member-owners, we’ve shown time and again that we are capable of rising to the occasion.As we celebrate our accomplishments, it’s also important to keep our eyes on the future. I firmly believe that the best is yet to come for the Oshkosh Food Co-op. While we’ve achieved remarkable success in our first year together, we are only scratching the surface of what’s possible. Looking ahead, we have ambitious plans to continue growing and evolving. One of our top priorities is to continue to expand our product offerings to meet the diverse needs of our community. We know that our shoppers are looking for more than just food—they want products that align with their values, that taste wonderful and meet their nutritional needs. We are also committed to deepening our impact in the community. Over the next year, we will be exploring new ways to support local farmers, food producers, and small businesses. This might include forging new partnerships, offering more educational programming, or expanding our role as a hub for community events and initiatives.As we prepare to celebrate Member-Owner Days this weekend, I want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude to each and every one of you. Our member-owners are the backbone of the Oshkosh Food Co-op, and without your support, none of this would be possible. Member-Owner Days is more than just a celebration—it’s a reminder of the power of community. It’s a time for us to come together, share our stories, and reaffirm our commitment to the values that unite us. Whether you’ve been a member-owner since the co-op’s inception or you’ve recently joined, your involvement makes a difference. I am especially looking forward to seeing familiar faces and meeting new ones for Super Sample Saturday from 11-2, tomorrow. As we gather to celebrate the success of the past year, I encourage each of you to take pride in what we’ve accomplished together. Every time you shop at the co-op, you are investing in a brighter future for our community, our local economy, and our environment.As we look ahead to the future, I want to encourage all of our member-owners to stay involved and stay engaged. The beauty of a cooperative is that it is a living, breathing entity that thrives on the active participation of its members. Whether it’s attending a board meeting, volunteering your time for sample Saturdays, shopping weekly at the Co-op, rounding up at the register for Food for All (We have a record number of people actively participating in this program by the way), or simply sharing your feedback with us, your voice matters. There are so many exciting opportunities on the horizon, and I want each of you to be a part of them. Our co-op is growing, and with that growth comes new possibilities for how we can serve our community and make a positive impact. But to achieve our full potential, we need your continued support and involvement.As I conclude and think on this past year at Oshkosh Food Co-op it has been one of incredible growth, resilience, and success. Again, we’ve seen record numbers of shoppers, achieved new sales milestones, and deepened our connection to the community. But as I reflect on all that we’ve accomplished, I am filled with excitement for what lies ahead. Why? Because I BELIEVE that The best is truly yet to come. I invite you to join me in that belief because there is something powerful in the heart of believing together. With the support of our member-owners, the dedication of our staff, and the strength of our community I am confident that the Oshkosh Food Co-op will continue to thrive and evolve. As we celebrate Member-Owner Days this weekend, I look forward to seeing each of you and sharing in the joy of this moment. Thank you for being a part of this incredible journey—together, we are building something extraordinary.#believe #thebestisyettocome
Sincerely, Jeremiah McDuffie
