Grow With Us...

The people of the Androscoggin Valley have had a long and storied history of pulling together toward a common goal when asked. This spirit of cooperation and community is being called on once again. 

The Androscoggin Food Co-op is looking to harness that spirit and build a full service, cooperative grocery store in the valley that will be fully-owned by members of the community. Already over 300 households have become member-owners of the co-op, working toward the day we can all say, “We own it!”

We need your help. Please consider becoming a member and helping us achieve the dream of a community owned and operated grocery store, filled with locally grown produce and more!
