The Park Slope Food Coop (PSFC) is a food cooperative located in the Park Slope neighborhood of Brooklyn in New York City. It is one of the oldest and largest active food co-ops in the United States. As a food cooperative, one of its goals is to be a "buying agent to its members, not a selling agent to any industry." Non-members are welcome to visit the store, but may not shop. Formed in 1973, PSFC had grown to include over 17,000 members as of April 2018. The PSFC business model requires each of its adult members to contribute 2 hours and 45 minutes of work every six weeks, and that no member share a household with a non-member. In exchange, active members may shop at the store. The store sells a variety of foods and household goods, some environmentally friendly products, at a 21% markup over the wholesale price (compared to 26-100% at a supermarket). An additional temporary 4% markup was implemented in October 2020 to help the co-op offset the financial impacts of COVID-19. Members facing financial hardship may opt-out. The savings are possible because labor is contributed by its members. PSFC operates as a New York state cooperative corporation. More information...
