Annotated Bibliography

For my alternative research I read a publication from my local co-op at home that discussed the advantages and of this type of organiztion. To begin it descirbes how co-ops can bring a sense of community and that a co-op can only exist if it brings value to this community. The article also discussed the success of the watershed co-op anad how it was able to provide it's members with organic fruits anad vegetables at a reasonable price. The author of this article is obviously biased because they are a member of the co-op and only discussed the positive thigns associated with co-ops. This article did not discuss the challenges faced by co-ops and the fact that many of them fail. Overall this article was a one sided evaluation of co-ops.
