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

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.

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

In 2017, we created the Medford Food Co-op Cooperative Community Fund (MCCF) as a permanent endowment within the Twin Pines Cooperative Foundation.

So far, we’ve learned that the original founders of MFC committed resources too soon but were responsible for instituting the groundwork and foundation for their successors.

When we left off, the foundation and groundwork had been laid for Medford Food Co-op, known then as Medford Market Cooperative.

Did you know? The first efforts to establish the Medford Food Co-op were unsuccessful.

Supporting businesses owned by our friends and neighbors helps keep dollars circulating in our local economy instead of sending profits out of state.

These “seven basic international principles serve as guidelines to provide a democratic structure for co-ops around the world."

In alignment with the seventh cooperative principle: concern for community, we choose to give back to organizations that share our vision and values.

We celebrated our five year milestone on Saturday, October 8th with music, games, food, cake, and community.

Thank you to all of our owners who braved the weather last Sunday for our Picnic on the Farm & Annual Owner Meeting at Pheasant Fields Farm.

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.
