PRICELESS BENEFITS
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 300+ (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.

Member BENEFITS
We've worked hard to connect our community. Currently we have 21 local partnerships with small businesses and neighborhood farms to provide our members with the freshest, trustworthy foods and goods around town!

community benefits
Members make the co-op possible, but once opened, anyone will be able to shop. We do our best to keep the money you spend at the co-op in your local economy, aiding in community development and employment opportunities.

health education
We believe well informed communities are healthy and happy communities. Therefore we are dedicated to providing health and wellness education and awareness to the public. Join us at our next community class.
