Your Community-Owned Food Co-Op in Fort Collins
Ft Collins Food Coop, also known as the Fort Collins Food Co-op, has been a cornerstone of the Fort Collins and Northern Colorado community since 1972. Founded by CSU students as a buying club, we evolved into a full-service, member-owned grocery store committed to promoting healthy, sustainable, and local food choices. Our cooperative model prioritizes community needs, offering fresh produce from local farms, grass-fed meats, artisanal goods, and an expansive zero-waste bulk section with over 200 items. Our in-house deli provides organic, locally sourced meals, including vegan, vegetarian, and omnivore options, while our catering and wholesale services extend these values to events and businesses.As Northern Colorados only member-owned cooperative grocery store, we focus on ethical consumption, environmental stewardship, and strengthening the regional economy through partnerships with local vendors and farmers. Our recent relocation to a larger space reflects our ongoing commitment to meeting community needs while maintaining our democratic, member-driven ethos.
