Andy has lived in Potsdam his whole life. He enjoys the community aspect of the Co-op. Working here provides the opportunity to serve the members of his hometown. He loves the quality and affordability of the bulk, produce, and local meat departments at the Co-op. He also buys lunch from the Carriage House every day and it never gets old. Outside of work, Andy enjoys music, sports, the outdoors, and spending time with friends and family.
I was born in Massena, NY. My family moved around a bunch but always within a 20 mile radius. I graduated high school from St. Lawrence Central in Brasher, NY and moved to Potsdam in 2007, where I live now with my partner and our two children, Elliott and Jude.

Lynn grew up in the Adirondack foothills but especially loves the sense of "community" in Potsdam and Canton, of which she considers the Co-op to be an integral part. Except for two years living near Syracuse, Lynn has resided in this area since transferring to SUNY Potsdam from a college in Buffalo to finish her degree. She and her housemates were members of the Co-op then, a time when membership and working were required.
I am originally from right here in Potsdam. The only time I have lived elsewhere was when I was in college at SUNY Plattsburgh. I love the area, and my family is here, so I plan to stay for the foreseeable future.
