French Broad Food Co-Op

The French Broad Food Co-op focuses more on people than profit by supporting local farmers and producers and being community owned. This approach sets it apart as a grocery store.

With a 100% organic produce department and the bulkiest bulk department in the Southeast, possibly the nation, the store's inventory is notable. Its basics program keeps staple items affordably priced, and the staff is diverse.

Serving its owners and the Western North Carolina community is a priority, with high-quality natural foods and personal care products available. The consumption of healthful and organic foods grown or produced locally with ecological and social responsibility is supported.

Programs like the Double Up Food Bucks program, which doubles the value of federal nutrition benefits spent at the store, and the Co+op Basics program, featuring affordable organic options from the Field Day brand, are in place.

The store is found at 90 Biltmore Avenue in Asheville, North Carolina, and can be reached at (828)255-7650 or info@frenchbroadfood.coop.
