Act globally. Eat locally.

The Belfast Co-op Blog is a place to explore the important issues facing us today regarding our food--where it comes from and why that matters. Our challenge is to develop an affordable and sustainable food system that uses less fossil fuel and supports a healthy lifestyle.
The Belfast Co-op has been a member-owned store since 1976, supplying healthy food to both members and non-members. We support the regional economy by purchasing from many local farmers and producers. For more information on local food, nutrition, and the “co-op” way of doing things, visit the info table in our store and see our website at www.belfast.coop
