In June of 2009, we officially opened Concord Food Co-op of New London (previously called “14 Carrots” by past owners), a Lake Sunapee-area sister store of the Co-op. A smaller version of the Concord store, our New London location shares the same commitment to providing high quality natural and organic goods, supporting local farms and businesses, and promoting sustainability.
