The inside doesn’t look like much more: a small, sectioned-off warehouse that, close to the front, is adorned with aluminum shelves stocked mom-and-pop style with organic foods and household products, and a cooler packed with locally-grown produce. Yet as volunteers are compiling orders made online and being instructed in the steps to complete a given transaction, it seems clear that this humble start is about to grow into something more: a food cooperative for the farmers and consumers of Vancouver.

I'm a member of the Co-op....are you? A lifetime membership is only $180.00. Please consider joining and supporting local food, local agriculture and the option to shop in a grocery store that is influenced by its members, not by corporations.
