Rochester's Only Community Owned Grocery Store!
Abundance Food Co-op is a grocery store located in the South Wedge neighborhood of Rochester, NY. We give priority to buying local, organic, sustainable, and/or socially responsible products.
At Abundance, ALL are welcome.
Shareholders and non-shareholders alike come to the co-op for a friendly meeting place, healthful food, and safe household products at reasonable prices.
Anyone (AND EVERYONE!) can shop the Co-op – if you’ve never been, what are you waiting for?
National Cooperative Grocers
Abundance is a member of the National Cooperative Grocers (NCG). The NCG connects us with co-ops across the country, allowing us to leverage with collective weight in national advocacy campaigns, like the Non-GMO Project. We’re also able to get competitive prices and great monthly sales on hundreds of products through this partnership, including the Co+Op Deals program.
Check out welcometothetable.coop for more information about the NCG. Where conventional grocers work with an average of 65 local food producers, food co-ops work with an average of 157.
If you want to support local food in Rochester and the surrounding area, then the co-op is for you.
