The Elk River Area Food Co-op
is a community owned grocery store dedicated to providing access to high quality, local, natural and organic food at a fair price, supporting local farmers, and contributing economically to the community.
The Elk River Area Food Co-op is a start-up, member-owned grocery store. Currently we do not have a physical location. In order to open our doors we need to have a healthy, loyal membership base. Proving to us, and our future lenders, that our community supports the co-op vision & efforts.
In the mean time we've worked hard to provide priceless benefits for our current 370+ (and growing) member-owners and the community at large.
The cooperative idea is more than a physical store, it is a grass-roots movement to bring the power back to the individual. Co-op's are built on the idea that local owners, not far-away investors, direct the business and gain the benefits of success.
Read on to hear how we are making a big impact in our small town..
Check out our 20+ local partnerships, each providing special deals and discounts to Elk River Area Food Co-op Members.
Another great opportunity to support local!
Once opened, anyone will be able to shop. However, it is members who make the co-op possible. Help us bring fresh, local, trustworthy food to the dinner table by becoming a member today.
Building a co-op is a grassroots effort to empower our community to make big change at the local level. In order to thrive, we look to our members and volunteers to help spread the word and get involved.
