Hungry for a better grocery store? That’s what we’re working towards - a neighborhood store that specializes in local, healthful, practical products.

In order to organize and communicate the plan of action necessary to open our cooperative grocery store, we’ve written our Phases of Development documents.

Of course our Arroyo Food Co-op won’t be standing alone. It will be backed up by a producers, suppliers, lenders, staff and consultants.

We're trying to get a lot of information out to you before our October 10th membership kick-off meeting!

In continuing our series of posts on our co-op’s founding details, let’s talk today about our proposed vision statement.

Our full business plan will be published before our big October 10th community meeting.
