About Me

Hi! We’re a non-hierarchical, collectively run food co-op committed to serving the UCSD population with low cost, nutritious, and environmentally responsible food. We at the Co-op reflect on the environmental benefits of supporting sustainable foods and products found in our store. At the Food-Co-op, we pledge to sell and support vegetarian foods. We carry no products produced as a result of the death or mistreatment of any kind of animal. We carry no products containing harmful additives like preservatives and therefore support and carry organic foods. Products from local companies hold priority in our store. The Co-op attempts to minimize waste by purchasing and selling products in bulk and by prioritizing items that are reusable and recyclable. Finally, we pledge to promote fair trade labor standards.

My Interests
