Steve Bernheim

Steve Bernheim

I moved to Orcas for the isolation but am willing to work with others on the island to limit greenhouse gas emissions and increase our supply of locally-grown food.

My wife Susan Bauer and I joined others to grow fruits and vegetables with Orcas Community Participatory Agriculture (OCPA) late in 2017 and now we host an OCPA neighborhood co-op-style garden at our “Fir Peace Farm” past Doe Bay. I am in my second term on the county Agricultural Resources Committee. I have been a lawyer in Seattle and an Edmonds City Councilperson.

I’m thankful for everyone at the Co-op who keep us supplied with local & organic food and hope we can provide more in the coming years.

Clint McCune

Many of us know that feeling of stepping onto the island, knowing it is your heart’s home, and regardless of where you go, it always calls you back. I first moved here as a young man, then launched into the world again, forever changed, and then followed my heart back here with my family.

I know that this is where my daughters will grow and bloom; dedicating time to the places supporting our community to thrive is incredibly important. The Co-op embodies all the things that are important in communities. From quality food to cultivating relationships across the county, the Co-op ensures that everyone has an invitation to the table and understands that the power to make the world we all hope for can be achieved by working together.

I bring a lifetime of community building, creative engagement, business sensibilities, and a passion for connection. It would be my honor to spend my time and energy supporting the Co-op’s growth and its positive impact on Orcas.

Josh Warren-White

Over the last 20 years Josh has helped build multiple worker-owned cooperatives and worked as a community organizer fighting for economic and racial justice. For the last 13 years he’s been a worker-owner of a successful social justice graphic design studio called Design Action Collective, a small business that is a democratic workplace and serves non-profits, labor unions, and social justice organizations with professional graphic design and web development services. Before moving to Orcas in 2020, Josh and his family lived in a cooperatively owned co-housing community land trust. He feels his skills and experience are of most use to progressive cooperatives who are trying to both succeed as small businesses, advance the cause of social justice and anti-racism, and function democratically, while serving the needs of community. Josh would love to offer his time and skills in whatever ways might best help this vital community institution thrive, and would love to meet like minded people and build relationships in the process.

Daniela Pereira

Daniela arrived on Orcas in 2020. Shortly thereafter, she became a part of Orcas Community Resource Center and dedicated her time to serve the Orcas Island community. She is actively engaged in bilingualism and creating strength and inclusivity in the Orcas Island community. She loves nature, books and poetry, hospitality, culture and languages. Daniela is beyond grateful for the opportunity to learn and grow with the Orcas Food Co-op, creating community and strength through food, gastronomy and culture.

Libi served as a founding board member of Orcas Food Co-op and was instrumental during the design and remodel phase of the startup. In 2020 Libi joined the staff team as a senior manager, when she temporarily closed her shop, Springboard, in Eastsound. Before Springboard, many people knew Libi as manager at Roses Cafe. A long-time resident of Orcas Island, she has been involved in many community efforts. Libi served on the Montessori School Board and was resident liaison to Opal Community Land Trust Board. She is passionate about quality, local and affordable food for everyone.

Drawn by the strong sense of community and undisputed beauty of the San Juans, Natalie and her partner, Nik Schulz, moved to Orcas Island from West Sonoma County, CA in early 2016.

Natalie possesses a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Management with an emphasis on Hospitality Management, and a minor in business administration from SFSU. Including her time at the Co-op, Natalie has two decades of work experience within the natural food industry.

Her passion for travel and cultural experience has led her through adventures in over 20 countries and counting. She is an explorer at heart and loves engaging with community, building relationships, and expanding cooperative culture. When not overseeing operations at the Co-op or Odd Fellows Hall, Natalie can be found cultivating community and collaborating on creative projects. Her aim is to inspire joy and connection in all she does.

Regina is a believer in the power of good food and community to keep us strong and healthy.

With a diverse background in finance, nutrition, yoga and massage, teaching, and small-business ownership; Regina is equally at home book keeping as teaching a class about the joys & benefits of fermenting!

She first discovered the benefits of local organic food and the importance of eating healthy fats (like butter!) more than 15 years ago, after reading Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon. This set her on the path to learning and teaching about making healthy food choices and how the food we eat impacts our health, overall vitality, well-being and happiness, as well as the health of the planet.

Regina loves working at the Co-op so she can share her knowledge and passion for local organic food with her community while helping our local economy grow and thrive.
