Food Co-op Planned for Ft. Greene/Clinton Hill? [Brownstoner]
Some PS coop members are well off enough they don’t need discounted grocery. And why are they snooty?
I belonged to a food co-op when I lived in the Hudson Valley. When I moved to Park Slope in 1980, I inquired about joining the co-op on Union Street. I was told, ‘oh, we’ve got enough members and aren’t taking any new ones.’ Kind of made sense; you can’t have more members than there is work to do. Later I learned that there are all sorts of factions at the Park Slope Food Co-Op and guessed that I probably had gotten bogus information from some disgruntled member. Just as well, I decided, just as well.
1:32 take the the B61. slowly but surely, they have better produce.
There will be a lot of non-plused hipsters in PS in CH.
Not interested.
They are a bunch of angry hippies at the PS coop.

The Park Slope Food Coop has been accepting food stamps for years. I’m curious, why didn’t you like the “vibe” at the PS Co-op?
The old residents of FG and CH are unlikely to be interested in joining a communist organization, and I suspect the number of hippie gentrifiers may not be enough to support it either.
all valid points Brooklynnative but as a relative newcomer to the Park Slope Coop I didn’t like the vibe. I think a Ft Greene/Clinton Hill coop would do well. It would be walking distance unlike the other cooperate owned venues. It is also accessible to Bed-Stuy. They could also accept Food Stamp cards to give lower income shoppers healthier food options.
