I’m really encouraged by news of a food co-op in the Bronx. I’ve felt for a long time that the next hip neighborhood would be in the Bronx, and it sounds like there are some really forward-thinking people in that borough that see the value of organic food and local produce in that borough.

According to today’s New York Times, Agraduate business svhool student at Baruch, Zena Nelson, is credited for conceiving this co-op, which is the newest of five in the city. Ms. Nelson is also a member of the Green Party. At 30 members, the co-op is still small, but maybe that’s a good thing for now.
