During our July 2025 Owner Drive, we welcomed 145 owners (including new and renewed), and every single one of them is helping keep community-owned groceries alive and well in Asheville. That’s what it’s all about.

Our raffle for a beautiful local prize basket (pictured below) saw 201 tickets entered (with extra love to new Lifetime Owners who got bonus entries).

Shoutout to Jessica Auge, our lucky winner, who joined as a Lifetime Owner this month.

Thanks to everyone who participated, renewed, and joined. Your ownership helps keep things local, organic, and authentically Asheville.
