Local produce from amazing farmers! Meat from local producers and some of the better places to get meat. Great selection of gluten free goods. Amazing staff and volunteers! I don't know of another place to get these things until I get close to another coop!
I love this place! It is always a relaxing experience to shop there. The employees are very friendly and the whole atmosphere is calm, even when they are busy. The bulk selections are great and the prices very reasonable. Love the breads as well. Just wish that I lived closer.
Exquisite selection of organic goods, very friendly staff and volunteers and good co-op prices!!
I stand with The Co-ops decision to boycott Israeli products.
I love this community and the plethora of ways they stand for justice every day through righteous acts with their dollar, how they educate and inform their customers, and provide me with dank local produce and wonderful gluten free options!

I'm stoked to find this place!! I moved to Washington 4 months ago and I've been trying to find a food co-op. AMAZING!!
My go to store for bulk organic foods!! Friendly people and great service!!
so happy & grateful for the coop! (aren't we all?😊)
Love everything about it! Food, people, service....ALL of it! <3
My favorite coop! Amazing organic and local produce. Socially and environmentally just. Supports brave activists in Standing Rock, and many other compassionate campaigns. I support their BDS campaign against Israeli government's illegal occupation of Gaga and the West Bank of Palestine and the ongoing apartheid and genocide of the Palestinian civilians. Make no mistake, I love the Israeli people - but I condemn their government's human rights abuses. Stand strong OFC! You are a shining light of ethics and a jewel of health here in SW Puget Sound. Love you forever.
My wife and I just became members, and love it. My only regret is not joining sooner.
I love it here :)) everyone is so friendly and you know you're getting the best foods :) thank you for all you do :)
Amazing place. I shop the Pacific Ave location. Good stuff, good prices, and great people.
Love the selection of Organic foods. The bulk bins alone are worth shopping here

Great place! Wish I was back in Cascadia! Miss it.
Wide variety of products. Some of which I'd never seen before. Staff are all very kind and knowledgeable. The produce is locally sourced so its super fresh. I asked about fresh burdock greens. They only had the root and told me they would ask the farm they get the roots from if they can get greens from them. Ive never been to a store that cares so much about their costumes. Definitely my new favorite place! 😍
I love this place! Staff/member owners are friendly and knowledgeable. This tiny shop has almost everything. My number one requirement for a grocery is that they have a variety of fresh produce. This place not only checks that box, but surprises me all the time with their selection and sale prices on produce! Love the bulk department. This is my main store even though it’s not my closest store.
Great local food coop. Give the volunteer cashiers a bit of a break, they’re working for free to make your organic sand local foods more affordable! It may not be fancy, but it’s one of the best food coops in the country.
Wonderful produce, great pre-made food, respectable non-perishables and snacks. Membership is incredibly cheap, and the food is not THAT much more expensive than big chain stores. Some, but not as much as people might think. This is pretty much the only place I regularly get groceries.
We prefer the location in the west Olympia area. The Pacific avenue location was very busy, and the staff were not very friendly while moving through the aisles. The place felt small and inconvenient even though the west side location is actually smaller.
Overall, we love the co-op and will shop them before the big stores every time!
They almost always have everything I need. Customer service is great, they're very helpful if you can't find something. The quality of the products they carry is top notch.
I was in the co-op movement back in the 1970s--worked for one, belonged to three, so I can say from experience: These guys are doing it right.
The grocery business is tough; adding social responsibility, commitment to organic nutritious food, transparency, democratic process, etc., etc., etc., can make it tougher, so most co-ops fold pretty quickly--but OFC has figured out how to make it work long-term, and that alone is admirable.
From the street, it's a well-run pair of stores with good consistent hours and practically all the groceries I need--plus a niche product I hadn't seen on a shelf in 40 years.
