How Do You Buy Food Through A Local Co-Op?
As educated consumers search for quality food products, natural food sources and local produce, many turn to an ever-increasing number of food co-ops to meet their needs and often save money at the same time. Food co-ops often include organic and natural foods as well as bulk grains and legumes. Many food co-ops are new, while some families are running food co-ops as a business now decades old. Here is how to buy food through a local food co-op. Locate a food co-op by searching online, asking friends and querying health food store owners, who may participate in or organize food co-ops. Contact your local Weston A. Price Foundation chapter leader for a list of natural food co-ops in your area. Join the co-op if it requires membership. Ask for a catalog or browse the online list of products available after locating a food co-op. Find out what they have available, and what foods you would like to purchase through the co-op. Compare prices and quality to your current food sources. Occasion
