The East Aurora Cooperative Market was borne out of a desire for easier access to food and other grocery items that are locally grown, healthier for our bodies, better for our environment and beneficial to our local economy. The concept of a community-based market became the driving force for a small group of thoughtful, committed Southtowns residents and serves as our inspiration to bring such a market to our area.

The EA Coop Board of Directors comprises forward-thinking individuals who believe in and endorse the value of the local food movement. We believe the market will be a dynamic community center where our member-owners and customers may obtain a variety of delicious, healthful products that promote a high quality of life and contribute to a thriving local economy. Through democratic governance and community cooperation, the market will be guided by member-owners who believe in education and community outreach.

Meeting the nutritional needs of member-owners and customers is our highest priority and will be realized through access to natural, local, sustainable goods, a democratic governing process and a focus on continuing community education and outreach that promotes a healthy, forward-thinking way of life.
