Why Join the Springfield Food Co-op

The Co-op is a consistent source of reasonably priced, natural, local and organic foods and products. When you shop at the Co-op you’re not only doing something great for your personal health, you’re doing good for the local community and for the planet.

Buying from local farmers and suppliers helps to build a strong and sustainable economy by keeping dollars in our community. Local food tastes better and has more nutritional value than food shipped hundreds or thousands of miles. Organic production has far fewer negative environmental impacts on soil, water and air than conventional farming; and eating organic whole foods has countless human health benefits.

When you shop at the Co-op you get to know your neighbors and the people who grow your food. For example, our “Sample Saturday” is a wonderful monthly event where friends and neighbors can stop by the Co-op to sample delicious new recipes and seasonal products from local suppliers and farms, and also shop for a wide variety of items ranging from organic spices and bulk grains to artisan cheeses and meats. This is a regular opportunity to expand your taste buds and get to know your local food growers and suppliers.
