Nebraska Food Cooperative

The Nebraska Food Cooperative was established to bridge the gap between local farmers and consumers, fostering a community centered around the enjoyment of healthful food and equitable relationships. Over time, it has become known for its commitment to increasing food security through diversity and enhancing rural sustainability.

The cooperative emphasizes the importance of stewardship and sustainable farming practices. It offers products that are free of growth hormones, antibiotics, genetically modified organisms, herbicides, and pesticides. The cooperative supports organic farming, grass-finished and grain-fed livestock, and pastured poultry, ensuring high quality and freshness in the food provided.

The cooperative operates without a storefront, utilizing an online ordering system with regular buying cycles. Orders are picked up from local farmers, sorted, and delivered to designated pick-up sites. The cooperative relies on volunteer efforts from its members, promoting a collaborative community spirit. A wide variety of products, including organic vegetables, meats, eggs, jams, cheeses, and artisan breads, are available based on seasonality and availability.
