Local Roots
The Co-op is Local—and Always Has Been
From our earliest beginnings more than 30 years ago, the Co-op has had strong ties to local suppliers—offering local veg-etables and fruits and many other locally produced items. As we’ve grown, our repertoire of local items has also grown.
We’re now highlighting more of our local producers. Watch for Local Roots shelf tags that identify products throughout the store that are grown or produced locally. And watch for profiles on some of our local producers in the store and on our website.
We know the importance of
our “local roots.”

Welcome to the Community Food Co-op, Bellingham’s natural cooperative grocer. What began in 1970 in Fairhaven as a single 900-square-foot store with fewer than 10 items has grown to a 12,000-member-strong natural grocery store, and a soon-to-be second store. We encourage you to participate by shopping, joining, and building and supporting a sustainable, vibrant community.
You’ll find organic produce, meat and seafood, wine, an exciting deli, an espresso bar, great housewares and fun stuff, bulk items, natural and organic grocery items, baked goods, dairy, and supplements and wellness products. Welcome and enjoy!

Shoppers at our downtown Forest St. store are enjoying the latest improvements and remodel projects in this store. With new equipment, improved lighting, new signs, a new floor, and new paint, the results are wider aisles, increased access to products, and improved product arrangements.
This remodeled store has served more than 12,000 members and shoppers in the past, and we will continue to serve all our downtown shoppers with a new look, the best products, and an enthusiastic welcome. |

Every day our second store takes on more shape and form—the floor is poured, the roof is on, walls are up, and it’s now possible to envision what it will eventually look like. Along with the physical changes, the excitement among members and staff is building too.
Members drive by the new store to see the construction progress and mark the days when they can start shopping in this new neighborhood. Managers and staff are busy planning products, ordering equipment, and making staffing plans—it all adds up to a high level of enthusiasm.
With this new facility, we will be able to serve a greater number of members and shoppers from a wider area of Whatcom County and beyond. Drive by to see our progress and stay tuned for announcements of grand opening events in 2009. We can hardly wait! |
