How We Got Started
In 1972 a group of 10 households comprised of passionate Davis residents and UC Davis students started a buying club. The goal of this buying club was to follow in the footsteps of other similar groups around the country that had started to seek out greater access to natural foods without having to support traditional corporations that dominated the grocery industry. With a focus on healthy foods and environmental sustainability, this buying club started with bulk purchases of produce, bulk items (spices, herbs, nuts, etc), and cheese. This food was housed in a living room and then split amongst the original members. As word spread and interest grew, the buying club eventually formalized as a cooperative and moved into a storefront.
Where We Are Now
The Davis Food Co-op now has over 8,000 Owners and operates out of a 17,000 square foot store that carries everything from limes to laundry detergent. Over the past 50 years, the Co-op has had over 40,000 households take part in Ownership of the cooperative. While we have scaled our offerings over time to meet the needs of the community, we have stayed true to the foundation and ideals of the Co-op.
