Buffalo Rising
A nice story on Buffalo Rising in April 2008 by Elizabeth Spavento talks about our new lots and our new General Manager, Michael Murphy. Read more here.
Newell Nussbaumer and Elena Cala Buscarino of Buffalo Rising spoke about shopping local on November 26, 2007 on their new weekly appearance on WBFO in the morning. The full conversation can be found at their post here.
Following that post, Newell made a post you can read here, featuring Urban Roots about businesses that forge new ground off the beaten path of districts like Elmwood and Hertel.
Buffalo Rising gave us some nice coverage on our Fall Festival, and our new neighbor, Gelato G’s during Fall 2007.

Just one note – many people ask us if you have to be a member-owner to shop at Urban Roots. The answer is, certainly not! We’re open to the entire community.
We encourage membership because it’s the most direct way to support our effort. Urban Roots is a cooperative business; it’s owned by its members. Becoming a member-owner is a direct investment in our business and in our community, and you only need to become a member once, because it is a lifetime membership. You certainly don’t need to be a member-owner to support Urban Roots though, you can do that just by buying our products.
Beginning in 2005 and 2006 we started receiving lots of good press from our friends at Buffalo Rising Online:
