Cultivate Community Food Cooperative, Inc.

Our neighborhood deserves better than empty shelves and corporate chains.

Right now in Solano County, families drive miles for decent natural foods while their hard-earned dollars flow to distant shareholders. But there's a better way.

Cultivate Community Food Co-op is changing that story.

Since 2017, we've been building towards something revolutionary for our community: Solano County's first community-owned natural grocery store. Not another corporate chain focused on profit margins, but a co-op owned by neighbors, for neighbors.

Here's what happens when you invest in community ownership

Your grocery budget stays local, strengthening our economy instead of enriching distant investors. Local farmers get reliable partners who care about sustainable practices. Families access fresh, healthy food without the markup of corporate middlemen. Neighbors have a real voice in decisions that affect what they eat and how they shop.

This isn't just about groceries—it's about taking back control.

When communities own their food systems, everyone wins. Shoppers save money. Farmers thrive. Neighborhoods grow stronger. And your investment today builds something lasting for generations.

Help us prove that community ownership works. Your support brings us closer to opening doors on a grocery store that puts people before profits.

We are seeking funding to support:

• Outreach efforts that will expand our visibility and presence.

• Feasibility studies to evaluate key components and assess our likelihood of success.

• Professional grant writing services to expand and diversify revenue from private foundations and government sources.

Our Vision

• Promote our local food system

• Strengthen our economy

• Build community

• Care for the environment
