Clear Creek Food Cooperative

We have several updates to report on related to planning around the future of the Co-op:

Last week, I met with members of Earlham College’s administrative faculty to discuss the proposals the Co-op had put forth to the College regarding its future on campus.  The bottom-line conclusion from this conversation was that the College would do all that it can to remove any barriers to the Co-op’s success in its current location, but that it is also limited in what it can do to support a private business on campus.  We appreciated that Earlham took the time to consider our requests, and we think we have a good understanding of the constraints they face.

Today’s issue of The Earlham Word features an article about the uncertain future of the Clear Creek Food Co-op, including notes from our recent open meeting:

Clear Creek Co-op, the small food cooperative that provides, among other things, an alternative meal plan for Earlham students, may no longer be a fixture of campus next year.

At a recent open meeting, students, faculty and Richmond community members discussed the possibilities open to the co-op. According to Jon Flory Schrock, co-manager of the co-op, these possibilities range from closing completely to scaling back to a smaller presence in the space they now occupy to moving downtown or into a college house.
