Our Mission

Outpost Natural Foods exists so that our owners have a healthy, diverse, and sustainable community. We will accomplish this while maintaining the long-term strength of the cooperative. We achieve this goal by making sure that-

• The community has access to products and services that promote personal and environmental health.
• The community has access to organically and locally produced goods.
• The community is educated about choices that impact personal and environmental health.
• A community with commerce that is locally-owned or locally-oriented exists.
• The owners have a sense of connectedness, belonging, and fellowship.
• The cooperative infrastructure is supported.

Cooperative Values

Cooperatives are based on the values of self-help, self-responsibility, democracy, equality, equity, and solidarity. In the tradition of their founders, cooperative members believe in the ethical values of honesty, openness, social responsibility and caring for others.
