Organic vegetables fill the industrial-sized refrigerator. Milk comes in glass bottles and soy and rice milk are abundant. At dinner time it is cozily crowded and comes alive with talking and cheering. Simply stated, 2D is Princeton's vegetarian co-op. In many ways it is like a HUGE family.
Every member contributes to keep the co-op working smoothly and happily.
Decisions are made and conflicts are resolved at big house meetings where issues are discussed until consensus is reached. Dinners each night and Sunday brunch are cooked by groups of 5 members, so each member cooks once a week. Each member also has a chore. Recently we eliminated cleaning as a chore and started to have cleaning groups instead, so now chores are even more fun. They include bread making, hummus making, composting, webmaster, bulk food ordering, and plant tending.
