Seward Co-op

Founded in 1972, Seward Co-op is a natural foods cooperative with 14,000 members, 255 employees, and nearly $34 million in total sales. The co-op has two stores in Minneapolis, as well as a café that offers seasonal dishes made from fresh ingredients purchased daily, and strives to operate as sustainably as possible.  Committed to “equitable economics,” the co-op generated 41 percent of its 2015 sales from products supplied by local, small-scale, and/or cooperative farmers and producers.
