Reasons to Love the Iowa Food Co-op
Personal service
We know your name, and probably your dog’s name. We know what you like. We care about you as a consumer!
Product knowledge
Organic, antibiotic-free, gluten free, free range but also handmade and small-batch options on some products.
Fresh, Fresh Fresh!
Our vegetables are so fresh they last far longer than those purchased from large chain stores. Our veggies are often harvested the day before they are delivered!
Producer knowledge
You can contact the producer both before and after you make your selections. Note your favorite farmers and shop their selections first.
Reduced waste
Greatly reduced food waste relative to large scale farming operations and sales outlets.
Lower carbon footprint
Reduced travel distances (for both you and your food) mean lower emissions for your purchases.
Less middlemen
A greater percentage of your dollars go directly to the producer and farmer.
Building community
You help create and become part of the lowa Food Co-op and the local foods community!
Convenience
Access the wide variety of products available each week. Numerous kinds of meat, dairy, vegetables, and more available from one location.
