About Food Co-ops
A food co-op is a grocery store owned by the community. Food co-ops are working toward the day when everyone has access to the healthy, delicious food they deserve.
Because co-ops are owned by the people in the neighborhood who shop there, the community has a say in the business decisions the cooperative makes. So co-ops focus on what their owners want — nourishing everyone with good food regardless of their budget, providing a welcoming community gathering place, and prioritizing business practices that are good for the local community, the local economy and the planet.
Co-ops celebrate our differences and bring us together to foster community connectedness where everyone is valued and welcome.
