About Us We treasure our relationship with local farmers and food producers who provide us with the freshest and finest. Why? Because we know they care as much about the food they grow as we care about the food we eat! We’ve Got Roots In 1972 a group of neighbors in Northwest Portland joined together to sell groceries out of a little store on 23rd Avenue. Their mission was to provide their community with a place to buy good quality groceries that couldn’t be found in regular supermarkets.

Even though this first grocery store was small, the impact of people coming together to provide for themselves and their community was immense.  Over the years our store has moved a few times and is now owned by almost 4000 people that are still committed to providing the finest quality wholesome foods for our community. Food Front was featured in a wonderful article in Edible Portland last winter.  http://www.edibleportland.com/2008/01/walk_in_like_yo.html The co-op culture grows on Portland's grocery shoppers, article The Oregonian Sep. 30, 2008 http://www.oregonlive.com/foodday/index.ssf/2008/09/coop.html#more
