UPDATES: 
Welcome to the Olympia Food Co-op, your member owned and collectively managed not-for-profit grocery store cooperative. On this page you can get familiar with us, explore our departments, read our story, learn about our structure, familiarize yourself with our purpose statement, find out more about our board of directors, reference our bylaws, and check in on our plans for expansion.
We operate two retail locations, one on the Eastside of Olympia and one on the Westside.
Our small format stores may surprise new visitors, especially once they discover our aisles are full of an incredible variety of products. We select food to meet a diversity of dietary needs and approaches. Our size and popularity create a lively atmosphere that lends itself to building community. In addition to the care we take in selecting high quality products, we’re dedicated to keeping our prices as low as possible. We strive to make good food accessible to all.
We’re different from most grocery stores. Everywhere in our organization, from markups to social justice practices, we continue to uphold our purpose statement, focused toward placing people over profits. Our environmental and social justice daily practices include paying a fair price for organic food grown locally and markups for local goods lower than markups for goods from our distributors.
For products that must be grown out of our region, including bananas, chocolate, and coffee, we prioritize fair trade, organic, and/or cooperative practices. This contributes to healthy, well-supported communities of farmers and producers throughout the world.
