Help us start a new food co-op in Watertown, Waltham, or Newton!
💚 It’s time for a community-owned grocery store west of Boston.
Our co-operative grocery store will be owned and operated by members in our community instead of giant corporations whose interests are not aligned with our own.
What a co-op can help bring Watertown, Waltham, or Newton (and other surrounding towns):
A mission-based grocery store that serves its community and owners
Focus on local and organic foods sourced from New England
Bulk products to help families save money and shop affordably
Drive money and jobs back into greater Boston metro region
Check out more about our mission and see what we’ve accomplished so far.

🍏 What could a store look like here?
Check out Jon Steinman’s photo album “THIS COULD BE OURS” right here to see food co-operatives across Canada and the U.S. and how they’ve laid out their store’s physical presence. Get inspired about what is possible to build right here in our towns!
Thanks to the Food Co-op Initiative and Jon Steinman for making this available for us!
