The Orcas Food Co-op is a member-owned cooperative that will focus on providing high quality local and organic, non-gmo food as well as other goods and services that benefit the community. As a consumer-owned cooperative business, the Co-op is owned and controlled by the people who use it. Co-op members are financially invested in the Co-op and share equal ownership with other members. Unlike with a regular supermarket, when you shop at the Co-op the money you spend gets re-invested into the co-op, going back to members, paying workers a living wage, buying from local farmers, and strengthening the economic underpinnings of our community.
