    This co-op does not require you to do anything special in order to shop there, simply offering discounts for people who buy membership shares. The size is smaller than a conventional grocery store but pretty good for a specialty food store like this one. My needs were not huge, but I found some interesting things at reasonable prices, including a substantial salad for lunch. The selection for niche special dietary needs and other high-end food was likely as good as you'll find in this area. Sometimes, supporting local does mean some degree of compromise by sacrificing other considerations, but this place just might be the best local option all around.

    Awesome Co-Op in Grandin! It's about 1/2 the size of Sprouts and TJ but is filled with all the goodies that you'd want! Small and very convenient. Love this grocer! ++. Ambiance is bright, well organized, convenient, friendly, fresh and healthy...giving back to communities (at checkout...you can get tokens to give to select charities -by the exit) +++. Products are organic, natural, fresh and healthy focused. Highlights: +. Bulk section is good size with nuts, seeds, spices and flour +. Vitamins and supplements is decent with usual Brands Garden of Life, Jarrow, Amazing Grass.. ++. Produce is small but fresh and wonderful! +. Ready made soups, sandwiches and a small inviting salad bar in the back +. Dairy is small but quality items ++. Dry goods are good selection of snacks, nut butters, oils, chocolates, vinegars coconut chips, healthier soups, cans, local (bread craft) baked goods etc. +. Good selection of wines and craft beers +. Service is friendly and helpful. They tend to be more knowledgeable and kinder than a typical grocer =. Price is on the higher side but competitive. Membership will get you $ back at the EOY depending on how much you spend. No membership is required for shopping +. Parking is free in their private lot! Street is available 1-2 hrs free but can be tight If you want healthier options, this Co-Op is 1 of 3 choices in Roanoke. It's the smallest but fastest! Love this impressive little Co-Op!!

    The Roanoke Co+op is Southwest Virginia's largest food co-op. And this year they are celebrating…read moretheir 50th year anniversary. Since 1975 they have been serving the Roanoke Valley community. Located in Center In The Square, in the heart of Downtown Roanoke, it's a Market featuring natural grocery staples and organic-focused produce, along with prepared foods and grab-and-go options. It also accepts SNAP/EBT for its prepared foods. Besides this Roanoke Downtown location, it has another much larger community-owned grocery store in Grandin Village. This co-op has over 6,200 owners. They welcome everyone in the community as well as visiting tourists to shop there. And if you wish you too can become an owner by filling out an application and by making a one-time purchase of 8 ownership shares at $200 or paying for your shares one at a time in 8 installments of $25 each within an 8 year period. Owners receive benefits such as Owner Rewards, Patronage Rebates, Vote in their annual Board of Directors elections, eligibility to run for an open seat on the Board of Directors, and an invitation to the Annual Co-op Meeting. Today, I visited their Downtown Roanoke location. The employee on duty allowed me to explore the grocery store and take photographs to accompany my review. The store was very clean and organized, and although it was a bit late, early in the morning its suppliers bring in fresh merchandise, and make sure to fill up all its shelves spaces. In the past, I had purchased many items from this store. In the Summer, I would sometimes get a grab-and-go salad and either go sit at one of the tables that they put out in the Center In The Square or to the ones in the Market Building, and eat it with the salad dressing that it includes inside. Their hot Soup of the day is also very tasty and popular, and I've enjoyed a bowl many times. A while ago they experimented by selling Roanoke t-shirts and due to popular demand they now carry a nice variety of them for both locals and tourists who like taking one home with them as a souvenirof the Star City of Roanoke. I invite you to view my photographs accompanying this review to get a better sense of the place and the quality merchandise they sell here. I definitely highly recommend this grocery store to all who want to eat healthy and support locally sourced products.

    Strolling through the market I ran across Roanoke Natural Foods…read more I browsed a bit and found them pricey. A manager was stocking shelves and struck up a conversation. He was friendly and I appreciated the assistance. I ended up grabbing an apple for my walk. Checkout was friendly and smooth. I would return.

    Roanoke Natural Foods - Here you can get a sense of the wide counters under a roof for local farmers, merchants, and craftsmen, to sell their items on Saturday.
