Welcome to our occasional musings on all things co-op. The views expressed here do not represent the official work of Food Co-op Initiative or any other organization. We hope that they are thought provoking, informative and possibly even humorous. Got ideas for a good blogging? Let us know!
If you would like to start a discussion or query other co-ops about an issue your project faces, check out our Discussions page.
Here it is!—the new and improved web site for co-op start-ups. If you came here looking for Food Co-op 500, you are not lost. FC500 set the stage for our new non-profit foundation, Food Co-op Initiative. This new web site contains almost everything that was here before but we have tried to expand it, sort it, and otherwise improve it for your researching pleasure. You will also find new sections of resources and opportunities to share your best ideas with other co-ops. Feedback is welcome! Let us know what works, what does not, what is missing and what you would like to share.
