Co-Op and Island Abbey Foods have been working together for many years. Co-Op was one of the first group of stores to carry the Honibe® product line locally on Prince Edward Island. Their company is very committed to local initiatives and supporting Island products and companies. Co-Op has been very supportive of Island Abbey Foods and the continuously evolving Honibe® product line.
