Mixed Nuts Co-op
The longest running student group on the Hampshire campus, Mixed Nuts Cooperative is a student run, volunteer-based collective that aims to promote equality, respect, honesty, and responsibility within the context of food systems and cooperatives. They make all of their decisions based on consensus in order to be efficient and successful. Since 1972, they have provided healthy, socially conscious,affordable, tasty food to the Hampshire College community.
Mixed Nuts intentionally sources their products from local businesses, other cooperatives, and fair trade organizations. They dedicate themselves to serving the greater Hampshire community, including students, faculty, staff, families, neighbors, alumni, and the occasional groundhog. Mixed Nuts Co-op also seeks to build relationships with outside cooperatives and other organizations. They strive to educate the larger Hampshire community and themselves about food sources, who they are as a cooperative, and what it takes to run a small business.
