East Lansing Food Co-op started in 1979 as a buying club for local people who wanted healthy and organic food. Soon after, it opened a cooperatively owned grocery storefront in East Lansing. Over the years, it has expanded into a store that is owned by over 1,000 people in our community. Our mission is to help maintain the area’s economy by buying primarily local produce and other products, supporting environmental sustainability and social justice by buying organic, fairly traded food and products. Your shopping dollars directly support a local, member-owned venture and, in turn, numerous other local businesses whose products we offer. East Lansing Food Co-op is a natural food grocer offering organic produce, milk and meats. We have a wide selection of frozen food, bulk items, coffees and teas, spices, and wholesome packaged and convenience foods from our deli, and more. Our health and body care department offers vitamins, herbs and other supplements. We also carry many hard-to-find items for special dietary needs. Everyone is welcome to shop at the co-op. Those who become members enjoy numerous options for involvement and for saving money. Visit our co-op to learn more about the benefits of membership. We look forward to your visit.
