We are in the process of making a local food co-op a reality. Our vision is that our brick and mortar, full service, community-based grocery store will provide convenient, year-round access to healthy, fresh, local, and organic products. We will work closely with our local producers and incorporate the feedback of our members in developing and designing our store and co-op community.
But we need your help today to make this a reality! We are actively looking for local families and individuals who value access to fresh, local, and organic products to become members of the co-op — so that we can secure a location and open the doors to our store. Learn more about our vision.
Do we want Monsanto, ADM, Cargill, Walmart, etc., to do to our local farmers, what Home Depot and Lowe's have done to our local hardware stores?
Join us TODAY. Or learn how you can get involved.
By joining now, you become an owner and founder of our store and co-op community. What does this mean?
Together, we'll be able to:
- Bring our community convenient access to freshly-picked, nutrient-dense produce, pasture-grazed meat, eggs and dairy, as well as bulk grains and dry goods.
- Ensure our farmers a consistent and reliable marketplace for their products, which can to be sold at a fair value so their farmland can be maintained — and even expanded.
- Provide a place for our community to vote with our food dollars and help shape our community’s future well-being.
- Help reduce our impact on the environment and retain the unique and historical character of our community.
- Make an economic difference in our community.
Did you know that national statistics show that 70 cents of every dollar spent at a co-op business goes back into supporting the local community?

Del Val College
Can we convince you to “get dirty” for the Co-Op with us?
The Bucks County Opportunity Council (BCOC) needs help harvesting (in the early days it may be planting/weeding/staking, etc) at DelVal College for the Food Pantry this summer.
The BCOC needs at least ten volunteers each week from May into September at the Hope of the Harvest Charitable Garden right here in Doylestown, on the Delaware Valley College campus. The Charitable Garden will help meet a critical need for fresh food in the emergency food network right here in Bucks County. No experience necessary! Come once or all summer! Depending on the week you volunteer, activities will include: weeding, staking, twining, planting, harvesting, and packing food.
This is a wonderful opportunity for the Food Co-Op to help a local organization… and while we continue to look for a “store” for the Co-Op this organization can help us accomplish our mission of getting REAL food to our community.
Harvest Dates are:
June 12
June 19
June 26
July 3
July 10
July 17
Please consider joining us and donating a few hours each week.
