Bethlehem Co-op Market

Bethlehem Co-op Market Your community owned, full-service grocery store at 250 E. Broad St., Bethlehem, PA. Owned by 1750+ member-owners - opening to all shoppers in 2026! Parking too!

Our goals are to offer healthy, affordable, locally-focused food and educational offerings in a convenient neighborhood location. The store, to be located at 250 E. Broad St., Bethlehem, will be open for everyone to shop at. Our Mission:

The Bethlehem Food Co-Op is a diverse community encouraging physical, social, and economic health by providing healthful, affordable food; emphasizing local, sus

tainable, humane and natural food systems; and offering unique educational opportunities to the entire community. Important Things That Make Us Awesome:

Community Owned: The co-op will be owned by its members. Yes—YOU will be able to own the grocery store you shop at. And, not only can you own a share of the store, that share will give you an equal voice in the democratic process of the store. Community-Operated: The people in the community the co-op serves will operate our store. We will provide good jobs for our community! In Downtown Bethlehem: The co-op will be an oasis of fresh food in the north downtown neighborhood of Bethlehem - open and accessible to all! Healthy Food: We plan to focus on local foods and organic offerings, helping our community live the best life it can, while supporting local providers. Affordable Food: Members will receive discounts on co-op products, and prices will be limited by working directly with producers and offering alternative buying options like bulk bins. Informational Workshops: The co-op will not just be a grocery store. We want to continue to engage with our community and offer education and recreation opportunities like classes on nutrition, cooking, gardening, composting and more! Convenient Neighborhood Location: The store will be accessible on foot or by public transit or bicycle. Visit us at bethlehemfood.coop

Due to the Labor Day holiday, we are moving our regular MOVE meeting date to Monday, Sept. 14 – and to be efficient, we will do a joint meeting with the co-op's Launch team.

We'll meet in-person at the co-op location, and also offer it as an online meeting (use this link: bit.ly/4xzrksp ); note that if attending online you will be asked to provide your full name when you sign in.

The Launch team will be supporting a proposed series of Preview Nights events, to generate excitement about our opening. We're also looking ahead to determine what kinds of support we can lend to the other staff and committees to ensure a successful opening. What events shall we plan to celebrate this exciting milestone?

We have community events coming up as well as needs to help with yard sign delivery, and support for our Member Benefits Program.

Bring *your* good ideas and let's brainstorm how to move our co-op forward! All are welcome.

It's sunflower season!

You might be familiar with the large sunflower fields at St. Luke's Anderson campus (Rt. 33 and Freemansburg Rd.) that are open to the public. There are actually numerous other options to enjoy this favorite summer bloom!

A large proportion of what we eat relies to some extent on pollinators like bees. Some of those crops include almonds, blueberries, pears, apples, cherries, peppers, cucumbers and broccoli. We don't want to imagine a world without these foods!

We're celebrating with a nod to these hard-workers that are vital to our food system: they are responsible for about one in every three bites of food we eat!
