March Change for Good: KS Wild
As we step into March, we are thrilled to introduce our Change for Good partner – KS Wild, an organization dedicated to preserving the breathtaking landscapes of Southern Oregon. At the heart of our community lies a shared commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship, making KS Wild the perfect ally in our ongoing quest for positive change.
What is KS Wild?
KS Wild, short for Klamath-Siskiyou Wildlands Center, is a non-profit organization passionately devoted to protecting and restoring the wild ecosystems of the Klamath and Siskiyou regions. Nestled in the heart of Southern Oregon, these landscapes are not only home to a diverse array of plant and animal species but also serve as a source of clean water, fresh air, and recreational enjoyment for our community.
The Mission: Preserving the Irreplaceable
At the core of KS Wild's mission is the belief that these wildlands are irreplaceable treasures that deserve our utmost care and protection. The organization works tirelessly to defend these areas from threats such as irresponsible logging, mining, and other activities that could irreversibly harm the delicate balance of nature.
Through advocacy, community engagement, and strategic partnerships, KS Wild strives to ensure the longevity of our region's unique ecosystems. Their efforts extend to preserving critical habitats, safeguarding biodiversity, and promoting sustainable land management practices.
Why It Matters: A Greener Tomorrow
Southern Oregon's natural beauty is not just a backdrop to our daily lives – it's a living, breathing entity that sustains us. The health of our wildlands directly impacts the health of our communities, influencing everything from the air we breathe to the water we drink. By supporting KS Wild, we are investing in a greener tomorrow for ourselves and future generations.
Rounding Up for Change
This March, you have the power to contribute to the invaluable work of KS Wild every time you shop at the Ashland Food Co-op. Our Change for Good program allows you to round up your purchase to the nearest dollar at the register, with every penny going directly to support local organizations like KS Wild.
It might seem like pocket change, but when combined with the collective generosity of our community, these small contributions add up to make a significant impact.

Meet Pachamama Coffee Cooperative
By Lauren Taber, Pachamama Coffee Cooperative
Pachamama Coffee Cooperative started in 2001 with a few simple questions in mind: what would it look like to take Fair Trade a step further? How can coffee farmers be in direct relationship with end consumers in the United States?
We found that the answer was even simpler: cooperative ownership. Pachamama Coffee has been 100% farmer-owned since day one, and is currently owned by 140,000 small scale family farmers across the coffee producing regions of the world.

Meet Store Manager Barry Haynes
By Barry Haynes, Store Manager
Twenty three years ago my wife and I began our quest to relocate our family from the midwest to the west coast. We were looking for a beautiful area with an engaged community that would enable our children to thrive. Equally important, we wanted our new home to have a vibrant natural food store. When we arrived in southern Oregon, we felt as though we hit the jackpot.
