{{toplink|url=http://www.southphillyfoodcoop.org/|name=southphillyfoodcoop.org}}The South Philly Food Co-op is a community of South Philadelphia residents who are working together to open a grocery store that uses food as a force for good. The Co-op will bring fresh, whole, sustainable (and lots of local!) foods at fair prices to the heart of our neighborhood. More than that, the Co-op will be a hub for community and food-centric education, south of South, river to river. By leveraging our combined purchasing power and keeping control local, we believe we can make a meaningful contribution to a thriving, healthy community and a sustainable planet through the power of food.

South Philly Food Co-op.

Food as a Force for Good: At Our Tables, In Our Community and For Our Planet

South Philly Food Co-op is South Philly’s only community-owned grocery store. It offers fresh, local foods at fair prices and serves as a hub for our South Philly community.

The Co-op is cooperatively owned and democratically controlled by a community of South Philly neighbors. By leveraging our combined purchasing power, we’re taking ownership of our local economy by keeping our hard-earned dollars right here at home. We keep it real at our store, sharing honest information about our values, products, and prices.

We offer food you can trust to be good for your health and our planet, as we prioritize fair-trade and sustainably produced products free of harmful additives and chemicals. We believe in supporting our neighborhood businesses, so we prioritize local and regional foods.

The best thing about cooperative ownership is that when the community speaks, the Co-op listens.
