YO U

More Chan likely there's at least one food co-op operating in your hometown.
These democratic, consumer-owned businesses had a heyday in the 70's . . . and by
1980 it was estimated that there were over 3,000 separate groups of people in the
U.S. getting together to buy their food.
Folks may form "victual fellowships" to obtain groceries inexpensively (co-op
members often save from 15 to 50% on food items!). to secure healthful, wholisti-
cally grown eats . . . to practice participatory democracy as a first step in taking po
litical control of their own lives . . . to share and experience cooperation . . . or for
some combination of such goals. Food co-ops can be as small as the four-family Mor
gan City Buying Club in Louisiana or as large as California's 96,000-member Con
sumer Co-op of Berkeley
The reason for this diversity is simply that food co-ops are consumer owned Their
guiding purpose is “ food for people, not for profit". And that motto also describes
the basic advantage of participating in a food co-op: The members themselves cre
ate. shape, and regulate their organization As a result of this membership control,
each individual co-op becomes a unique food-buying institution.
In Atlanta, Georgia, for example, there's a co-op named Sevenanda. and it's per
haps the largest food buying cooperative in the southeastern United States. The
store provides over 4,000 weekly shoppers with an amazing array of victuals
Sevenanda (the unusual name is the Sanskrit term meaning “Service is Blessed
ness "I was founded on the ideals of nutritional and spiritual service. On the other
hand. Weaver's Way. a prosperous middle-class food coop in Philadelphia, was es
tablished solely to provide bargains. Jules Timmerman. Weaver's founder, created
the moneysaving membersonly food store through a lot of dedication
an ability
to corral new membership fees to cover ongoing debts
. and a remarkable talent
for finding suppliers of inexpensive food
Most food coops are not such prosperous, large-scale institutions as Sevenanda
and Weaver's Way Many serve smaller groups of people out of part-time store
fronts. For example, Tahlequah Foods Coop, an Oklahoma operation, is made up of
a self-described "scratching to get by" membership . . in a town so rural that bears
occasionally stroll down Main Street
The simplest, most economical, and perhaps most truly "cooperative" manifesta
tion of the food coop movement is the small buying club. Such organizations are al
most "invisible coops" . . . because they don't operate a storefront at all. Instead,
the clubs consist of groups of people I sometimes as small as four families) who pool
funds so that they can buy food in quantity.
I f you re not already a member of a food coop, look into the possibilities offered in
your neighborhood And if there isn't such an organization in operation, you may
want to think about starting one. It's not always simple, but anytime people can get
together to save themselves money, and have more control over their lives, it's
usually worth the effort!
