Co-ops know good food, and shoppers expect us to be a resource for food, nutrition and lifestyle information. Whether they visit our social media accounts, websites or in-store brochures, they expect to find delicious recipes and food inspiration. That’s no easy feat!

One simple way to fill your co-op’s website with fresh recipes is to syndicate content from grocery.coop. In addition to the archives of hundreds of recipes, NCG adds four new recipes each month which get posted to grocery.coop, shared on Co+op social media and made into print-ready recipe cards. Each of these new recipes was written exclusively for co-ops for use. The recipes are prepared, styled and photographed by professional food photographers. The nutritional facts are already calculated. All you need to do is print the recipe cards and share the content to your website!

The simplest way to share grocery.coop recipes on your own website is to use NCG’s new content syndication option. Depending on your website platform, the instructions vary slightly. We recommend looking over the syndication instructions to determine which method is right for your co-op’s website.

If you’re curious which content can be shared or reprinted by your co-op, just log into grocery.coop. Once you do, you will see a syndication icon on each article or recipe and photo that is owned by NCG and eligible for you to syndicate or reprint.

Be sure to note that NCG does require an attribution statement crediting grocery.coop as the source for the content. When using the syndication option, this attribution will automatically appear at the bottom of each NCG-owned article or recipe you publish to your website.

With NCG’s print-ready recipe cards, syndicated website content and shareable social media posts, you can spend more time focused on content that is specific to your own co-op and community. Let us take care of the recipes!
