| H Street Community Market: A Cooperative Grocery Store |
Why a Food Coop?
There's a new generation of food cooperatives opening and operating in the United States today, they are one stop shopping stores that have the look and feel of a Whole Foods but carry food from local producers and small farmers and they are owned by the community. The H Street Community Market is proudly following this trend and the Board and neighborhood volunteers are working hard to bring this store to Capitol Hill.
Did you know there is a grassroots effort to expand the food coops in the United States by 300 stores in the next 10 years? An organization called foodcoop500 is leading this effort. We were awarded a Seed fund grant from this organization.
Due to our location we have access to many local conscientious farmers that are willing to provide us with their ecologically produced and often organic food such as veggies, fruit, pastured eggs, meat and cheese. We will be a grocery store which offers everything from personal care to prepared foods, a large bulk section and local beer and wine. By purchasing local foods we will help keep costs down for the consumer and will also support our local farmers and producers.
We need your support to open the H Street Community Market. We ask that you become a member to help be apart of this much needed change in our food system. Membership is refundable and has many worth while benefits; please visit our "Become a Member" page to join now.
Please take our survey to provide input into the store. The link is above this text.
