Mission, Purpose, and Philosophy

The mission of the Bastrop 1832 Farmers Market (a Texas Department of Agriculture Certified Farmers Market) is to create and sustain a market space for small family farmers, ranchers, producers, and artisans, including those who are economically disadvantaged, to sell and promote their own farm and ranch products, artisan wares, ready-to-eat foods, and other homemade products in a family-oriented environment.

In this manner, the Market provides access to local, healthy, affordable food for children and adults of Bastrop and the surrounding area while supporting family farmers and ranchers to create a local, sustainable agricultural economy, preserve farmland, improve individual health and strengthen the community.

The Bastrop 1832 Farmers Market also supports local food banks to ensure that the needy have access to the same healthy food. Furthermore, Bastrop 1832 Farmers Market provides education about and support of the region’s agriculture and teaches young people how to grow and sell food. Finally, the Bastrop 1832 Farmers Market contributes funds to other local, tax-exempt charities, such as groups assisting abused women and children and 4-H clubs.

Established in 1978, Central Co-op is a community-owned natural food cooperative located on Seattle’s Capitol Hill and in Tacoma’s North End. With over 14,000 members, Central Co-op is a full-service grocery store, open to all, that encourages its shoppers and community members to “Bring the Bigger Story to Your Table,” and works to highlight the crucial connections between the food we all eat and the producers, farmers, and food systems that provide it.

Welcome to Central Co-op! We’re two full-service natural foods grocers open to everyone, 7 days a week.

We’re also an independent, democratically-governed Solidarity cooperative, which means we are owned by people who shop and work here. We’re dedicated to sustainable practices, community accountability, and the local food economy.

We source from local farmers and producers whenever possible, and we work to add energy to the good food movement. We’re known as a resource for ethically produced, healthful foods and products, and up-to-the-minute information about personal and environmental health.

Visit our stores and here’s what you’ll find:

• Helpful staff and great prices
• Gorgeous organic produce
• Organic, local, and raw milk and dairy products
• Extensive selection of natural supplements, herbs, body care, and homeopathic remedies
• Wild and sustainably-harvested seafood and sustainable meats
• Full-service deli with house-made dishes, fresh juice, and a coffee bar
• Extensive bulk foods section
• Fair Trade and non-GMO products
• Foods for special diets—vegan, raw, gluten-free, paleo, and more
• A democratic organization that’s engaged with our community

You can own these grocery stores!

Anyone can join Central Co-op, become an owner, and be part of our community-driven grocery stores. Central Co-op owners get personal and collective benefits from co-owning and supporting a successful independent business that’s rooted in our community, and ownership is affordable.

• More about ownership
• More about co-ops

But you don’t have to be an owner to shop! Central Co-op is open to everyone.

So what sets us apart from other grocers?

In this age of mass-produced food and economic inequality, Central Co-op continues to hold a place not occupied by conventional food retailers.

We provide our communities with good food at great prices, while aligning with grassroots organizations to support the well-being of our community. We strive to improve our community’s access to the nutritious, sustainably-produced food it needs, through our owner benefits, thoughtful pricing programs, and community activities. Through strategic sponsorships and partnerships, we seek to bolster our regional food economy. And through our worker and consumer ownership and strategic collaboration with other cooperatives, we promote cooperatives around Puget Sound and beyond.
