Our member-owned Food Cooperative is so much more than your typical grocery store!

Mountain Avenue Market, aka the Fort Collins Food Co-op, is a unique and vital pillar of the Fort Collins and Northern Colorado community, driven by a commitment to local values and democratic principles. Unlike traditional retail stores, co-ops like Mountain Avenue Market are owned and operated by their members, ensuring that decisions are made with the community's best interests at heart. This model fosters a sense of ownership and connection among members, promoting a collaborative and inclusive environment.

Mountain Avenue Market prioritizes sourcing from local farmers and vendors, which strengthens the local economy and guarantees fresher, higher-quality products. This focus on local and sustainable practices not only supports small businesses but also reduces the environmental impact, aligning with zero-waste principles and ethical consumption. Moreover, the Market features unique offerings such as an expansive bulk section and in-house prepared foods, catering to health-conscious and environmentally aware shoppers.

In essence, Mountain Avenue Market is more than just a place to shop—it's a community-centric institution that nurtures local relationships, promotes sustainability, and empowers its members, making it an indispensable asset to Fort Collins and Northern Colorado.
