Newsletter September 2021

Greetings from Koto Co-op!

This is our first newsletter and we have been an active co-op for over a year now. There is a lot to tell so I’ll try not to go too much into details and first I want to take this opportunity to congratulate and thank everyone involved. Our (currently) small community is what is giving me hope for the future.
