What does the Food Co-op do?
We are a natural foods grocery store, with a bulk department and café. As a community-owned and cooperatively run business, with around 1,000 people who own the store and share in its profits, the Co-op represents the interests of its owners by selling nutritious, whole foods and organic products. We offer hot coffee by the cup, as well as ground coffee to make at home. Some things you will find include:
• Local Organic Produce • Artisan Cheese and Bread • Organic Bulk Products
• Local, Organic, Pastured Meat • Made in Maine Gourmet Grocery Items
• Fair Trade Coffee, Tea, and Chocolate • Vegan and Gluten-Free Items
• Natural Body Care, Wellness Products, Vitamins & Nutrition Supplements
Hours of Operation as of April 1, 2012:
7:00 am to 7:00 pm, 7 days a week.
Local Food Ordinances
Congratulations to Sedgwick, Penobscot, and Blue Hill for being the first towns in Maine–and in the U.S.–to pass ordinances guaranteeing people’s rights to access and consume locally produced food. And now Trenton, Hope and Plymouth have also passed local food ordinances protecting the right to private contract between a consumer and farmer within their towns. Way to go!
