On this page you can explore our blog and check out our quarterly news publication The Table.

Cooperatives are democratic organizations and the cornerstone of democracy is an informed group of voters. As such, our mission includes “providing information about food […] collective processes and consensus decision-making.”

The Olympia Food Co-op is fueled by our members, who actively participate in setting policies and making other decisions that affect the future of the business. We encourage all members to collaborate with staff ad Board in many ways – from offering suggestions for products to carry or boycott, to voting for your Board of Directors or member initiated ballots.

We even offer volunteer positions for Working Members to contribute to our success and receive credit toward their Co-op purchases. With so much to share, the challenge remains to inform our membership and community about all of the resources within their reach. Here are some options available to engage to our members.
