The Neighboring Food Co-op Association

The Neighboring Food Co-op Association (NFCA) is a federation of food co-ops across New England & New York State that are working together toward a shared vision of a thriving co-operative economy, rooted in a healthy, just and sustainable food system, and a vibrant community of co-operative enterprise.

Providing a space for collaboration, innovation, and mutual support for Food Co-op leaders is central to the work of the Neighboring Food Co-op Association (NFCA), a co-operative of retail grocery co-ops across the Northeast. Organized under the theme, “Co-operation: Our Foundation,” the NFCA’s 13th Annual Meeting and Member Gathering will take place Saturday, 16 March 2024, at Greenfield Community College in Greenfield, MA.

With the declaration of 2025 as the second International Year of Co-operatives, the day will be an opportunity to begin to lay the foundation for the coming year and consider the unique role of co-ops in advancing the UN “Agenda for Sustainable Development,” which concludes in 2030.
