That's Life: Davis Food Coop

There's probably no more iconic organization in town than the Davis Food Co-op!

Started in 1972 as a buying club by people who wanted great food at good prices and were willing to work for it, DFC has been going ever since.  While this nationally known cooperative has changed over the years -- we now have paid staff, member-work is no longer done, and the store has increased in size several times -- the evolution of DFC has continued to be driven by the membership and their desires.

Listen to Ken Bradford and I'Talia McCarthy talk about the current robust Co-op, discuss plans for the future, and share some stories of the early days.  I'Talia is the Operations Manager (a staff position) and Ken is on the Board of Directors (elected by the membership); she has joined the team in recent years and he has been with the DFC since the 1970s (as has Lois).

Local food, natural food, organic food, special-request food, ethnic food, prepared-in-store food bars, raw food, bulk bins to serve yourself, a real butcher, a deli counter, a cheese section, take-out food, tables to eat your food at, classes in how to cook food, food-related items -- you can find all these at 620 G St in Davis.
