Thank you to all of the owners, shoppers, board members, staff, and community members who have contributed to this cooperative effort since our earliest beginnings in 2005. Without your time, dedication, and steadfast commitment, Medford Food Co-op would not have opened on August 8, 2011 and we certainly wouldn’t be here today to celebrate 12 years of community and cooperation with all of you. We are incredibly grateful to be a part of this vibrant community full of skilled farmers, talented food producers, and creative artisans that make our local food system alive and abundant. Thank you all for being here with us every day – each of our actions and intentions are literally willing the Co-op into existence on a daily basis. Today we celebrate our community and the beauty and wondrous nature of cooperation. ❤️❤️❤️

Celebrate 12 years of community and cooperation with 12% off everything* in the Café this week! *Excludes bottle deposits and catering orders. Offer good Monday, August 7 – Friday, August 11, 2023.

On Saturday, June 17, 2023, BASE will host the 3rd Annual Southern Oregon Juneteenth Celebration at Pear Blossom Park in Medford from 11am - 7pm. This family-friendly event will be an outdoor cultural celebration for the entire community featuring food, education, music, and live entertainment.

This year’s celebration will showcase our region’s expanding roster of Black-owned businesses, highlight local Black artists and creatives, share Black culture, provide a platform for community leaders, and create a fun environment where both youth and adults can commemorate this moment in our history and enrich understanding of our collective journey towards equity. Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day, was declared a national holiday in 2021, and celebrates the emancipation of those who had been enslaved in the United States. Juneteenth, the longest-running holiday that celebrates the end of American slavery, commemorates the anniversary date of June 19, 1865 when Union Army general Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas and issued General Order Number 3, effectively freeing enslaved people in the South.

Join us on Friday April 21st from 3:30–7:00pm at The Farm at SOU for an Earth Day celebration! Southern Oregon University is hosting more than thirty community organizations and sustainability minded businesses with exhibits, in addition to live performances, an electric vehicle showcase, bike rodeo, art, food trucks, and more.

ScienceWorks Hands-On Museum, The Farm at SOU’s next-door neighbor and a valued partner of SOU, is offering extended hours (open until 7:00pm) and free afternoon admission on the day of the event!
