The French Broad Food Co-op is a grocery store that focuses more on people than profit. We do that by providing a living wage, supporting local farmers & producers and being community owned.Ownership means you get to have a voice in how the co-op functions, what kinds of products are carried, the policies that govern the business and who is elected to uphold those policies. This is a no-sellout scenario.
Our produce department is 100% organic and we boast the bulkiest bulk department in the SE, possibly the nation. We have a basics program that keeps staple items affordably priced, and a diverse staff both part time and full time.
We are dedicated to serving our owners and the WNC community by providing high quality natural foods and personal care products through a mutually beneficial exchange.
Everyone can shop, anyone can join. You should become an owner today, because nowhere else will your dollars have a greater impact in the local economy.
We support consumption of healthful and organic foods, grown or produced locally with ecological and social responsibility.
- We encourage informed choice and consumer empowerment, with and emphasis on education and customer assistance.
- We are committed to use profits to strengthen and improve the Co-op community and to provide a livable wage to our employees.
- We pledge to maintain a pleasant environment that fosters goodwill, cooperation and participation.
