Padre Arizmendi and a few other Coopistas

Hey y’all! Amazing conversation about cooperatives this week with Joel Williamson, one of the co-founders of [LINC Foods](http://www.lincfoods.com/?ref=rangemedia.co) and [the Grain Shed](https://www.thegrainshed.coop/?ref=rangemedia.co).

We talk about coops as an organizational and business structure that is not just inherently more ethical for the workers who work within that system, it also more effectively traps capital in our communities, building resiliency through the entire system.

Coops. They’re good, folks.
