In addition to weekly specials, the folks at Swarthmore Food Coop are announcing something extra special: a new Back To Basics program! Inspired by other co-ops that attended the recent National Consumers Cooperative Management Association Conference, the coop developed its “Back To Basics” program to keep prices low on staple food items, allowing basic food needs to be met by anyone in the community. The main goal of the program is to make food accessible and, more importantly, affordable for everyone inside and outside of the Swarthmore community. Currently, 20+ products are a part of the Back to Basics program, including meats, produce, dairy, toiletries and baking needs (see them all here). We applaud the coop’s efforts to provide better foods, better choices and better service—all for less cost.

Find the Swarthmore Food Cooperative at 341 Dartmouth Avenue in Swarthmore.
