Maple City Market is a stand-alone grocery co-op. What is a Co-op?
A co-op is a business owned by the members in the community that works for the benefit of its owner-members. It is overseen by a member-elected Board of Directors, and day-to-day operations are run by a General Manager. It operates on the Seven Principles of a Co-op:
- Voluntary and open membership
- Democratic member control
- Members economic participation
- Autonomy and independence
- Education, training, and information
- Cooperation among Co-ops
- Concern for community
Maple City market has been a part of the Goshen business community since the 1970’s. We are owned and staffed by members of the community. Our main focus is locally produced and/or organic (and delicious) food, and we work hard to make sure that we are making our members happy. Maple City Market buys products from over 60 local farmers and food producers. When you shop at Maple City Market, you are supporting our community. Everyone Welcome!
