With the loss of the community grocery store, it seems the author is working on replacing the “community”, and not yet the “grocery store”. I too am wondering if there is a way to make incremental progress on getting groceries here, without needing to get enough momentum to build a giant store. Maybe there are 10 most common fruits/vegetables, and the coop with the existing 400 members can bulk purchase those? CSA models ostensibly seem a viable alternative.
