NASHVILLE FOOD CO-OP

The Nashville Food Co-op started as an idea of a small group that has since expanded. Two of our founding members have lived in Vermont, where co-ops are everywhere and an integral part of the food system. They got together with some like-minded locals and started the Nashville Food Co-op to bring this model, which is popular all over the country, to the city we love and call home... In 2015, we started with a Kickstarter campaign that raised over $15,000 in 30 days. These donations helped fund our professional market study that provided encouraging evidence that Nashville is ready for a food co-op. We are working hard to make our co-op grocery a reality for our Nashville community... Since we are a local, member-owned system, all proceeds will stay in the community. The co-op gives profits back to its Co-Owners through discounts, deals, and patronage dividends.
