Concord Food Co-op is a bakery, cafe, and grocery store in Concord, New Hampshire. The Co-op sells organic produce and local and regional products.
History The co-op is one of New Hampshire's longer established food cooperatives. The co-op first opened in 1984, receiving a loan from the New Hampshire Community Loan Fund. It expanded the Concord store in 2005 and later opened a New London location. In 2012, it added a sit down cafe. The store only sells organic produce and has had a CSA program since 2001. As of 2017, New Hampshire's four co-ops have roughly 50,000 member owners and $100 million in revenue. In 2017, the store created an e-shop.
In 2026, during a Cyclospora outbreak from lettuce in several other states, the Concord store continued to sell greens from local farms such as Generation Farm. A spokesperson said customers generally continued to shop with confidence because of the co-op's focus on quality and its work with mostly local growers.
Community and location The Concord store is located on South main Street, known as Concord's Arts Alley district.
The store offers a Round-It-Up program which allows the customers to round to the nearest dollar to donate to local non-profits. Over the seven years before April 2026, the program raised and donated $229,117. In one March, more than 3,100 people rounded up for NH Mutual Aid and raised $1,510. Marketing manager Rachel Becker has called this support "part of the bloodline of what being a co-op means."
