About Us We treasure our relationship with local farmers and food producers who provide us with the freshest and finest. Why? Because we know they care as much about the food they grow as we care about the food we eat! We’ve Got Roots In 1972 a group of neighbors in Northwest Portland joined together to sell groceries out of a little store on 23rd Avenue. Their mission was to provide their community with a place to buy good quality groceries that couldn’t be found in regular supermarkets.      Even though this first grocery store was small, the impact of people coming together to provide for themselves and their community was immense.  Over the years our store has moved a few times and is now owned by almost 4000 people that are still committed to providing the finest quality wholesome foods for our community. Our Mission Food Front is a consumer cooperative building a vibrant community and a healthier world by selling wholesome food and empowering people. Our Purpose As a consumer cooperative, Food Front builds from the vision of its owners to strengthen and extend the social fabric by democratizing capital ownership (social, natural and economic) to create a sustainable community. Food Front’s Commitment to Quality… At Food Front we actively seek out and support local producers and trusted suppliers who share our values so you can feel good about the things you’re putting in your cart, and on your table.     * We provide the freshest organic produce grown by local farmers whenever possible.     * We seek suppliers that are committed to environmentally sound business practices.     * Our gourmet deli is filled with fresh foods made daily with organic and natural foods.     * We carefully evaluate the natural meat and seafood we carry and ensure that it is sustainably raised and harvested.     * The beer and wine we stock is hand-selected, featuring local and regional vineyards and craft breweries.     * Whenever possible we purchase from local growers, producers and ranchers.     * Our wellness products are natural and cruelty-free.     * We feature a great selection of fairly traded coffee, tea, and chocolate. ...read more
