Providing residents of Catonsville access to local, healthy, and organic products since 2015.
Well it really all began in 2011. A handful of folks formed a steering group to open a community-owned grocery store. By 2015, our membership had grown to more than 100 and we opened our Market, allowing members to start enjoying the benefits of buying from local vendors.
Our Vision
To open a full-time grocery store.
While we already have a part-time Market, we aim to have a store with local and healthy options where anyone can walk in and shop.
As a cooperative business, our members are co-owners. Achieving our vision requires the commitment and investment from residents of our community.
What's a Vision without a Visual? A rendering of what our full-time store might look like.
“The CO-OP is a great way to buy local, meet my neighbors, and make new friends.”
