to our very first ribbon cutting โ๏ธ
Fifteen years ago this August, a ribbon was cut to open a grocery store โ but what truly began that day was something much bigger.
This throwback photo captures a moment that helped shape what Medford Food Co-op has become: a community-built space rooted in connection, local food, and a shared vision for a stronger Rogue Valley. From those first excited faces at our ribbon cutting to all the owners, shoppers, farmers, makers, and staff who have been part of our journey since, every chapter has been written together.
As we celebrate 15 years this August, we're filled with gratitude for everyone who believed in this dream and helped it grow. Thank you for making the Co-op what it is today and for being a part of what comes next.
