There are more than 60 Food Co-ops across New England and New York State, locally owned by more than 290,000 members.  Together, these community-based businesses generate an estimated revenue of $625 million and employ about 3,300 people (2024).

In Massachusetts

there are 11 Food Co-ops, locally owned by more than 39,000 members, generating over $90 million in revenue, and employing about 500 people. 

Because they are owned by people like you who shop and work there, food co-ops are rooted locally.  And by working together, the Neighboring Food Co-op Association (NFCA) is building food security, providing purpose-led jobs, and strengthening the local economy.  For example, on average, 30% of sales at our co-ops are from local suppliers, compared to just 2-5% in supermarkets.
