The Conscious Organic School Food Purchasing Cooperative (Conscious Co-op) launched in September 2026, built through the partnership of founding school districts; food distributors UNFI and Sysco; organic farms and food brands; and supporters across government and the nonprofit sector. We are grateful to every partner who helped make the Co-op possible.
