Congrats to Cornucopia Natural Market & Deli in Galesburg, IL for 35 years of business! 👏 What started as a 700-square-foot store in the late '80s has grown into a thriving community hub where customers can shop locally farmed meat and produce. Cornucopia is also leading the way in sustainability! With their recent USDA REAP grant, they’re set to install solar panels to further minimize their climate impact. Cheers to this huge milestone!
