Holiday Co-Op Shopping at Oryana

Oryana Community Co-op has gifts for celebrating Valentine’s Day or Galentine’s Day, including fresh roses, chocolate, wine, candles, jewelry, perfume, gift bags, special desserts, heart pizzas and more. They prioritize fair trade chocolate so shoppers know they are supporting fair pricing for farmers. Purchasing fair trade roses supports floral workers, their families and their communities. The cafe dessert case features cakes, cheesecake and cupcakes, with regular, vegan and wheat-free options, plus more coming just before the big day.

As the state’s first certified organic cooperative and Northern Michigan’s largest and most trusted source for organic and healthy foods, Oryana Community Co-op has been owned by its customers since its inception in 1973. Today, it continues to thrive with two locations, more than 10,000 owners, 200 employees, nearly 200 local vendors and $32 million in total sales.
