Co-op was founded by a group of local farmers dedicated to bringing Calgarians the freshest fruits and vegetables. We’re proud to support our community’s farmers, year round.
Our produce is harvested fresh from local, Western and Canada-wide growers whenever possible. Our produce team aims to ensure that seasonal produce is available and imports produce based on quality, freshness and availability to make sure you always have the very best to serve your family.
There are two things that truly set us apart from other grocers:
- Our commitment to supporting local producers. We have made joining us in supporting our local producers easy for our customers; just look for the green Best from the West tags in store.
- New, exclusive private brands; Cal & Gary's and Founders & Farmers.
You will now find our new exclusive brands on the shelves of our produce section too.
