London Food Co-op

General information

Who are we?
We are a not-for-profit, member-owned, co-operative natural food store. We provide our members with organic, natural, sustainably produced products at fair prices.

We value:
- social and economic responsibility
- respect for the earth
- a caring community
- a healthy local food economy.

What is a Co-op?
A co-operative is a business owned by its customers. Profits from the operation of the Co-op go to maintaining the store and purchasing new inventory, not someone’s pocket.
Unlike conventional businesses, the customers of a co-operative are also members and own a small part of the business. Every member has the opportunity to voice their opinions about how the Co-op should be run and can be democratically elected to the Board of Directors or join one of the many committees that examine how the Co-op works.

Why Join?
- Become part of a community of people who care about what we eat, how we acquire our food, and how it is produced.
- Members can purchase natural, organic, high-quality foods at reasonable prices, and we stock as many such foods as possible.
- As a co-operative, we adhere to the values of self-help, self-responsibility, democracy, equality, equity and solidarity. Our members believe in the ethical values of honesty, openness, social responsibility and caring for others.
