GreenStar

GreenStar is a consumer-owned grocery with over 12,000 members and three stores.  Aiming to making the food system more equitable, sustainable, and locally-based, GreenStar launched an affiliate nonprofit in 2007, GreenStar Community Projects, which supports community initiatives around food justice and sustainability.  Also committed to sustainability, the cooperative owns a 426 panel solar farm (the largest solar array owned by a food co-op in the U.S.), which can generate 146,000 kilowatts a year.
