Tri-Cities Food Co-op Mission Statement:
The Tri-Cities Food Co-op is a community-based and locally oriented natural food market committed to supporting organic food systems, sourcing products at prices fair to both the grower and consumer, while considering the environmental impacts of production, packaging, and use of our products.
We are creating a food co-op with prices that are fair to both the farmer and the consumer.
By working with local growers to source our produce, we are encouraging healthy eating and community connections while reducing our carbon footprint.
In addition to the food co-op, we have a community space and coffee shop where people can have a meeting, share a beverage, and shop in the gallery of Pacific Northwest artists. We also host music events as well as art and cooking classes. See our Events page for more details.
Join a community of farmers and consumers striving to create the best place to:
SHOP for fresh produce
MEET with friends
EAT from our gourmet deli
LISTEN to live music
LEARN from our healthy cooking classes
We have a great selection of local and organic produce!
We also feature local baked goods, eggs, dairy, soy and vegan products, meat and seafood products
