information about our co-op:

Dibbleville Food Co-op is a Fenton, Michigan, non-profit food buying co-op/club since the early 1970's.  We are a group of families and individuals who come together monthly to purchase natural and organic products at reasonable prices. We welcome new members and families to join us.

We work together in the spirit of cooperation and friendship, sharing ideas and information about a wide range of topics, including health, recycling and co-op product use. Our current membership includes singles, young families to retirees, as well as those with special dietary needs.

There are many benefits to belonging to a cooperative buying club. First, and foremost, are the quality products. Manufacturers of the products offered take pride in providing the best natural and organic ingredients.

There are bulk quantities and pricing on many herbs, spices, flours, dried fruits and nuts, rice and pasta.

For those who have allergies or need a special diet, no corn, no sugar, low salt and salt-free foods are available as well as non-dairy, organically grown, wheat and gluten-free and vegetarian. Products free of lactose and preservatives are also available.

Dibbleville Co-op buying club purchases from three (3) vendors on four-week cycles. The first company is Natural Farms in Wisconsin offering an full line of natural, organic and quality items in grocery, bulk, refrigerated foods, household items, vitamins and supplements, body care, frozen foods, pet food and pet supplies. NF offers great organic and raw milk cheeses by bulk or individual packaging. Easy on-line ordering by the case or single item is available with Natural Farms.

Next is Frontier Natural Products Co-op, Quality Products for Natural Living. We order from the Wholesale catalogue. Frontier offers herbs, spices and seasonings, teas, cooking ingredients and baking flavors, aromatherapy and natural personal care, plus thousands of products from your favorite natural product manufacturers. Frontier offers monthly discounts on a wide variety of their wholesale products.

Offering the largest selection of product is UNITED Natural Foods, Inc. They offer natural and organic products to stores, institutions and buying clubs throughout the Eastern Region. Our monthly delivery comes from their Greenwood, Indiana warehouse. Members place their orders on the internet with UNITED’s on-line web ordering. UNITED also offers monthly specials averaging 10% to 30% off selected products. Sale and regular prices are listed in a monthly Price Guide.

Because of volume purchasing, Dibbleville receives a volume discount on non-sale items from UNITED.  Dibbleville passes all or part of this discount back to members who order. Please ask our current rate.

Our co-op orders from Natural Farms and UNITED arrive via truck on their individually scheduled delivery days. The truck is unloaded and the products are sorted for distribution to the members. Frontier orders are delivered by UPS to the Frontier order coordinator who brings the pre-sorted orders to the UNITED pick up. Distribution runs smoothly and quickly with the cooperation and help of all ordering members.

For those who choose not to order by computer, mail-in, fax and drop-off orders are always accepted.

There is a one-time, life/time membership fee of $25. Payment for monthly purchases are due at time of distribution.

The members of the Dibbleville Food Co-op invite you to come by and CHECK US OUT during any of our regularly scheduled distribution (pick-up) dates.
