Blackberry Food Cooperative in Cottage Grove, Oregon
We are transforming Coast Fork Farm Stand into Blackberry Food Cooperative, a community owned grocery store that will ensure long term access to organic and natural foods in Cottage Grove.
Our Vision
Its our goal to create a food co-op that provides Cottage Grove with fresh, natural and organic foods at fair prices. And through this, the development of a local food system by partnering with local and regional small farmers and businesses.
We want to support our local economy while creating awareness about healthy, clean food and bring attention to our local food innovators who are making delicious contributions to our regional food system.
This is more than just a store. It’s:
-
A hub for local farmers and producers.
-
A model of economic democracy and sustainability.
-
A vital resource for food access, health, and community resilience.
-
A legacy of community ownership for future generations
Join us!
Help support the food co-op's goal to bring healthy foods to Cottage Grove; grown by local and regional farmers, ranchers and dairies:
-
Fresh produce and small batch products from our local and regional farmers and producers.
-
Dairy and honey from regional dairy farmers and apiaries in the Willamette Valley.
-
Small batch home and bath products from local artisans and small business owners.

We are absolutely looking for volunteers for outreach, fundraising, and tabling (chatting with interested community members from a booth at events like the Farmer's Market).
Or do you have an area of expertise that you think might be of help?
