Shop the Co-op!

The River City Food Co-op is a grocery store, open to the public, offering natural, organic and bulk foods.

A sustainable business considers its impact on the environment and its relationship with its suppliers, customers and employees. In the food industry, this means considering more that just the bottom line. How was this food produced? How was is distributed? Were workers, animals, or the environment mistreated along the way? When you shop at the Co-op, you are supporting the local economy and casting a vote for a better future.
