If you had problems in the past, please check us out again. Our selection is better, produce is better, prices are more competitive, and it’s only 2 minutes farther away from our downtown than the other alternatives. AND…there is rarely a line! 

Also, did you know that you can now donate to the Co-op through a 501c3 and deduct your donation on next year’s taxes? Read More
