Women played indispensable roles in the cooperative movement, driving change and fostering resilience within their communities.

For the past year, the Medford Food Co-op Board of Directors has been considering the feasibility of an expansion opportunity on site at our current location.

Alexis Gossage joined MFC as an owner in 2017 and was elected as a board member at the Annual Meeting in May 2023.

On March 23rd, MFC submitted preliminary plans to the City’s Planning Department to determine the possibility of expansion at our current location. The Board is still assessing feasibility and feedback from the Planning Department is essential before involving owners, employees, and the community in a wider discussion. Submitting plans to the city is a preliminary step in determining if expansion is financially feasible.

Medford Food Co-op’s Board of Directors, comprised of up to nine community members, plays a vital role in the success and sustainability of our cooperative. They provide guidance, strategic planning, and oversight for the Co-op.

October is Co-op Month! Celebrated by cooperatives nationwide during the month of October, National Co-op Month is an annual opportunity to raise awareness of a trusted, proven way to do business and build resilient, inclusive communities.

It seems like we’ve been talking about expansion for a very long time, and from a distance it may seem like not much is happening. Actually, the Board has been working diligently to move this process along.

The Medford Food Co-op annual owner meeting was held at the Co-op on May 1, 2022.

The Board of Directors is anticipating the upcoming year and setting goals for our cooperative's success.

An interview with Jon Steinman, author of Grocery Story – The Promise of Food Co-ops in the Age of Grocery Giants.

You are what you eat, so you want to eat good food. Your local food co-op has the good food you want.

October is Co-op Month and a great time to connect with the virtues of the cooperative business model and its positive effects on families, communities and the environment.
