What is a Co-op?

A food co-op is a full-service grocery store owned by you and your neighbors with a focus on fresh, wholesome food. Co-ops also serve as retail outlets for local and environmentally-friendly farms and businesses that are often too small to sell their food and products in big chain stores. By shopping at the co-op, you become part of a community that supports sustainable food production, healthy and delicious foods, and the growth of our local economy. Ownership is open to everyone living in California.
