About Us

The Brattleboro Food Co-op was formed in 1975 as a small buying club.

Today, the Co-op is a 14,580-square-foot natural foods market and deli on the ground floor of a four-story building that also includes Co-op offices, a commissary kitchen, a cooking classroom, and 24 apartments. This beautiful downtown anchor building is a result of a collaboration with the Windham and Windsor Housing Trust and Housing Vermont, with many environmentally friendly features, including utilizing refrigeration waste heat to heat apartments and the store, solar panels on the roof, and much more.

The current store opened for business in June of 2012.

The Brattleboro Food Co-op is community-owned, with over 8,000 active shareholders, and our goal is to be as accessible and responsive to you as possible.
