Bloomingfoods Co-op Market is a community-owned retail grocery cooperative based in Bloomington, Indiana, founded in 1976. It prioritizes sustainable, high-quality products, with a focus on locally produced items from artisanal producers and regional foods. The co-op operates under a democratic ownership model and adheres to cooperative principles, emphasizing member governance and community responsibility. Its customer base comprises residents of Bloomington and South Central Indiana seeking local, fair, healthful foods and education about food systems and the environment. The organization aims to strengthen the local economy by ensuring fair prices for producers and owner-members within a democratic, member-governed structure. In December 2024, Bloomingfoods began offering fair trade products from a new vendor, dZi Handmade, reflecting an ongoing expansion of its product roster.
