Joy of Organics Produce Buying Club

I?ve participated in this co-op for over a year. Recently, I?ve struggled with some health issues, where I needed certain veggies in copious quantities and less of others. Also, I noticed several of the items were decaying quickly, before I had the chance to consume them. I wrote asking Joy for guidance and received no response. After a few days, I sent a follow up email with the decision to cancel, because it seemed in my best interest. I felt sad, because I really loved supporting local farmers.

Her response to everything? ?Good luck with Costco. I?m sure they?re super high quality.?

First off, I?ve never stepped foot into Costco. I?ve shopped Whole Foods or farmers markets my entire life. Second, I sent a response explaining my situation and how I felt her response lacked empathy or basic kindness.

Her follow up? ??I?m sorry but Costco is really not good quality.?

There are other Co-ops out there to support doing the same work as Joy where people are treated with respect.
