The Maryland Food Co-op started in the mid-1970's on the campus of University of Maryland. We are worker-owned which means that everyone who is hired as a "paid worker" shares an equal role and all responsibilities in operating the business of our natural food store. We also welcome people to volunteer at our store in exchange for food credit. Together, the workers and volunteers co-operate to provide cheap, healthy, veg-friendly food at fair prices. There are no bosses or managers, only people who are working for a space that maintains equality, a good atmosphere, and lots of ridiculous music.

News and announcements

• August 13, 2010: After a hectic summer, everyone on staff could use a break from work, so we'll be closed from 3 p.m. today until noon on Sunday, August 22. Don't worry, the co-op will be here for all your nutritional needs during the strenuous move-in week before classes start.
• June 2, 2010: Welcome back to everyone who left town after commencement for a well-earned vacation! The co-op will be operating on the usual summer schedule until the last week of August, with the exception of holiday weekends and other extenuating circumstances.
• February 15, 2010: The hiring meeting has been rescheduled to March 7 due to snow closing days. Breathe a sigh of relief if you were worried about meeting the minimum volunteer requirements between now and next Sunday!
• January 26, 2010: The vegan cooking class will return to the co-op at 7 p.m. Thursdays this semester, starting February 18. Feel free to come by and learn how to make some great free food!
• January 25, 2010: Welcome back to the start of a new semester! We hope you like the improvements we made over break.
• January 11, 2010: Starting this Thursday the co-op will scale back its operations to allow our workers the chance to pursue special projects in the store. As a result, hot specials and custom-made sandwiches will not be served again until January 25. Thank you for your patience as we work to improve your co-op experience.
• January 4, 2010: Welcome back! Our shelves will be looking pretty bare for the next couple days, as deliveries trickle in and we process more dishes to put in the case. If you're on campus and you have time to spare, please consider volunteering an hour to help us start off the new year.
• December 18, 2009: We'll be closing this afternoon for the holidays, so come by early to stock up on all the groceries you'll need until January 4. You'll also find great deals on sandwich ingredients and case dishes!
