Community:

The accelerating big box and suburban development in Colorado and New Mexico has marginalized independent farmers, ranches, and retail stores. Independent retail stores in Colorado Springs, Santa Fe, and Albuquerque (along with select farmers markets), that share a philosophy of supporting the well-being of the communities they serve with their local farmers, are the exclusive locations where Beneficial products can be found. By selling Beneficial products, these stores provide the most healthful food available while simultaneously supporting the local agricultural community. Individual consumers who buy food at these locations are supporting independent business in the urban and rural areas as well as the health and wellness of their own families. As part of the Beneficial Farm and Ranch Collaborative, both producers and stores contribute a percentage of sales to sustain the program. This self-funding approach is another example of the group’s commitment to sustainability and continual improvement, but it all begins with you, the co-producer, through your purchase of Benefical products.
The Beneficial program is a key element for developing a healthy and secure future for you and your local food system. We hope you enjoy the food as much as we enjoy producing it!
