Skagit Valley Food Co-op

Food Co-op

The Skagit Valley Food Co-op has been a local staple in Washington since 1973, and its commitment to the community shows in every aisle. Tucked into downtown Mount Vernon at the heart of one of the most productive agricultural valleys in the Pacific Northwest, this member-owned natural foods market is a full-service grocery with an award-winning deli, a scratch bakery, and a tight-knit producer network deeply rooted in its surroundings. While it's member-owned, everyone is welcome to shop.

The Skagit Valley Co-op was the first produce department in the area to become certified organic, and offers nearly 200 organic fruits and vegetables sourced from local farms. They partner with local ranchers, farmers, and fisheries to offer high quality natural meats and wild-caught, sustainable seafood. The full-service deli creates freshly made sandwiches, salads, soups, wraps, and hot bar items daily, alongside an espresso bar and organic juice and smoothie counter. The in-house bakery produces fresh artisan breads, pastries, cookies, and seasonal specialties, including a sourdough loaf made from a starter that's over 100 years old.

The bulk section is a well-stocked standout, with herbs and spices, baking essentials, rice and beans, nuts and seeds, local honey, loose leaf tea, and bulk coffee including an exclusive line of Co-op roasts from Equal Exchange. The full-service dessert case is worth a stop on its own, with slices of cake and tarts available daily. The second floor Mercantile carries gifts, home goods, and local finds, a nice bonus if you're looking for something beyond groceries.

The Skagit Valley is a great place to stock up on groceries, especially if you're headed out to the San Juan Islands or up to Mount Baker where options are limited. The bulk department is particularly handy for trip prep, with a great selection of granola, nuts, seeds, and chocolate for building your own trail mix, plus a DIY nut butter machine so you can take exactly what you need and nothing more. The deli is a reliable fallback for grab-and-go meals, with fresh sandwiches, wraps, soups, and smoothies available from early morning through the evening. And with a bakery that's been at it for decades, fresh bread is available in both half and full loaves, so you can take just what you need.
