2024 Food Co-op Impact Report

It’s Delicious, It’s Delightful, It’s Democracy

Feeling fed up with “business as usual?” You’re not alone. A growing number of people across the country believe we can do better by each other — joining together through local, democratically governed organizations to meet our everyday needs — like groceries.

Food co-ops are about more than bulk granola and essential oils, we’re about local, democratic ownership, community food security and solidarity with workers across the supply chain. Our stores are open to the public, and anyone can join a food co-op.

Learn how food co-ops are revolutionizing the grocery industry to make it work better for people and planet; and if you want to, you can join our collective movement towards a just, resilient and regenerative food system that is accessible for all. If you’re already a co-op shopper, thank you for strengthening your community and local food system.
