Moscow Food Co-op's Mission Moscow Food Co-op, building a strong, dynamic, consumer owned natural food cooperative through the use of ethical and sustainable business practices. Moscow Food Co-op's Vision and Values Managing Operations The Moscow Food Co-op (MFC) uses our financial resources to support people, the environment, and our business by: ● Providing a clean, inviting, attractive, and family-friendly gathering place; ● Fostering a program of reduce, reuse, and recycle; and ● Selecting products to sell based on holistic guidelines, giving preference to reasonably-priced, locally-produced, and/or organic products.
Member/Employee Satisfaction The MFC is a model of democratic ownership. We understand that our success is directly related to the quality of life enjoyed by our staff and members and strive to support that by: ● Building an alternative social and economic structure based on cooperative principles; ● Encouraging new members by being open and respectful; ● Providing fair and supportive treatment of our members, staff, producers, and suppliers; ● Respecting our member's and staff's uniqueness and diversity, and honoring each individual's right to privacy; ● Serving the diverse dietary needs of our community; and ● Providing information to members about how their choices affect their personal health and the ecological and financial health of our community. The MFC's values are reflected and modeled in our fair trade and living wage practices, support for local producers, community outreach, and sponsorship of activities that are aligned with our Mission. |
