From babies to BriarPatch ballers... We may be a little late to the trend, but thank you to all the fine folks who keep our store the magical place that it has been for the last 50 years. Here's lookin' at you, kids!
🎤 Our spring issue of The Vine just dropped, and we have to say, it’s pure gold. Plenty of throwbacks, stories and sweet moments from 50 years of growing goodness.

"It is hard to imagine the Co-op without her... No one who knew her could doubt that she cared for her friends and her community and we will continue to try to live up to what she seemed to do so effortlessly in her honor.
Fare thee well, Marylou. May the Four Winds blow you safely home."
"We know that the Co-op is a collective effort to which so many people have contributed in our fifty years, yet in some ways Marylou simply embodied everything we love about BriarPatch," said Chris Maher. "She radiated kindness and love, patience and caring."
It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of longtime BriarPatch employee Marylou. A dedicated team member since the early days of the Co-op, staff, shoppers and the community will miss her deeply.
Make your gift, then send us your receipt and BriarPatch owner number by email (marketing @ briarpatch.coop) or DM so we can match it!
Let’s show what cooperation can do! 💚
Co-ops supporting co-ops: that’s how we turn values into action!
In the spirit of Co-op Principle #6, BriarPatch will match Owner donations to Placerville Food Co-op’s Buy the Building campaign up to $500 total. That doubles your impact for a fellow community co-op!
Ready to roll for a good cause? 🎳🥫🏈
Join us at the Souper Bowl and help us bowl over hunger one frame at a time. Every strike sends more canned food to the Auburn Interfaith Food Closet — so bring your A-game and let the good times roll.

Not sure about you, but we’re inspired... Pantone’s Color of the Year is “Cloud Dreams” — a calming shade of “printer ran out of ink.” Soft, subtle, and aggressively gray...a whisper of gray that says “don’t worry, nothing exciting is happening.”
Low-effort glow-up unlocked! 🙌 All you had to do was shop. Supplement Sunday brings 30% off regularly-priced wellness supplements. Stock up this SUNDAY, January 4th!
