Thank you for voting, and congratulations to our winning products! Check back in Summer 2025 for a fresh round of nominations and voting.

So how was this decided?

This year’s nominees were chosen by managers and employees of the Littleton Food Co-op. Employees were polled on their favorite local products based on the department they work in. Department managers also gave their input and collectively gave their stamp of approval to the slate of nominees at a group meeting.

Nominees must be classified as a local product at the Littleton Food Co-op (made in NH, VT or within 100 miles of the Co-op, as a general rule). Nominees in each category were chosen based on a number of factors including employee recommendations, previous nominations/wins, sales data, and representation of the scope of each department.

Then, voting was opened up to all Co-op members! Members voted online and in-store from July 17 through July 27, 2024. Members could also write-in their own nominees for each category, as long as they met local qualifications. The results of member votes are those you see above. The power of cooperation!
