A Half-Century of Cooperative Action

People’s Food Co-op (PFC) Natural Foods Market and Deli of Ann Arbor is celebrating their 50th anniversary with $5 off a $25 purchase (with coupon) through April 30. They offer contactless curbside pickup or delivery via Mercato.com, and shoppers can also save money on fresh fruits and veggies with double up food bucks (see details in store).

In February 1971, a group of health-centered activists organized around a concern for fresh and natural foods found at the Detroit Eastern Market. Together with the development of the Michigan Federation of Food Coops, a storefront and food warehouse were formed to serve the community.

PFC featured fair-trade goods long before other outlets and have maintained the organization as a member-owned, democratically run, not-for-profit stakeholder business. Even as corporations embrace natural and organic foods, they believe the co-op has an important role to serve over the next 50 years.

Location: 216 N. Fourth Ave., Ann Arbor. For more information, visit PeoplesFood.coop.
