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, gardening, recycling and co-op product use.
Our current membership includes singles, families, couples and
retirees, as well as those with special dietary need.
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, egg and salt-free foods are
available as well as non-dairy, organically grown, wheat and
gluten-free and vegetarian cuisine. Products free of lactose and
preservatives are also available.
