More Than Just a Grocery Store: What it actually means to engage in a food cooperative - The Middlebury Campus

Discovering the Middlebury Natural Foods Co-op

Becoming a Middlebury student comes with several rites of passage, including a visit to the Middlebury Natural Foods Co-op (MNFC) on a Saturday.

Upon entering the MNFC, you're greeted by fresh, local produce and a unique bulk foods section.

Yes, you could buy Ritz crackers at Shaw’s across the street for a lower price, but there is a certain whimsy in saving a few special items, like treating yourself to local berries and cheese, for your weekly grocery shop for the Co-op.

This experience leaves you in awe of the expertly sourced natural food products and their promise of health.
