it is a "food buying cooperative". there are a lot of different co-ops; for buying seed, harvesting, storing and transporting crops, gas, water, even one of the biggest hardware stores in this country, (Ace) started out as a cooperative. it enables a group of people to purchase with the power of a wholesaler consumable items. hopefully/theoretically they also have a focus (when dealing with food) on local, sustainable, and healthy if not organic food
