Overview
4th Street Food Co-op is open to the public, but is operated entirely via member labor. Working members receive a discount.
They have managed to replace almost all of the "corporate organic" non-produce made by companies owned by multinationals not meeting their ethical standards. "Convenience" is a big selling point for many stores. The co-op makes it convenient to support local and independently owned businesses that have strong principles. We stock fair trade products whenever applicable and possible. By adhering to social criteria and environmental principles, fair trade organizations foster a more equitable and sustainable system of production and trade that benefits people and their communities.
