Thanks for the insights from Jason. I love NCG and we finally have a co-op 2 blocks from my house in Chicago (Wild Onion Co-op). And it’s clear NCG supports small, organic, local, regen brands, etc. but the problem remains that it’s impossible to develop a national program with the co-ops for a small brand without the extractive UNFI distribution process in the middle. If there’s an alternative distribution scenario that does this, no one seems to know about it. I’d love to hear from them on this, if there’s anything to hear. Thanks again for another good post.
