More Than Good Food
Your local food co-op is a different kind of grocery store
It’s a place where you can find healthy, delicious food for you and your family. It is also a community resource that is owned by people like you who shop and work there.
Food co-ops also have a bigger impact in our region than you might expect. Across New England and New York State there are about 60 Food Co-ops, locally owned by more than 290,000 members. Ranging in size from small, community markets to large retailers with multiple locations, these businesses have an outsized impact in the Northeast, generating estimated annual revenue of $625 million and employing about 3,000 people (2024).
And by working together, the members of the Neighboring Food Co-op Association (NFCA) are strengthening our regional economy, building food security, supporting local producers, and providing purpose-led jobs. When you shop at your local food co-op, you are contributing to a stronger community. And when you join as a member, you’re helping to build a better world for everyone.
