Community Market CA is a independent grocer running 1 Bay Area store.
Maple Valley Cooperative is dedicated to producing high-quality organic maple products sourced from its cooperative farmer members.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 1 SKU across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen.
