Today, we’re feeling profound gratitude for the team at the Nederland Co-op / Mountain People’s Co-op.
The “scraps” we receive from the Co-op are as far from any definition of scraps as you can get. They’re beautiful, fresh greens that help supplement our animals’ diets—especially in the cold months, when meals are mostly hay and grain.
Honestly: the humans and the animals at Gilpin Grateful Acres get excited every time Cale tells us the Co-op is on the phone and has “scraps.” It’s become one of our favorite calls.
And yesterday…on one of the coldest, snowiest days we’ve had this year, an employee from the Co-op still made the delivery. That kind of care and community support means more than we can put into words.
Thank you—truly—to every employee at the Nederland Co-op / Mountain People’s Co-op.
The animals feasted tonight. 💚🥦
(If you love the Co-op too, drop a thank-you in the comments so the staff sees it.)
