Friendly City Food

If you've not been so lucky as to visit Harrisonburg, Virginia and experience our little city's charm firsthand, the 'Burg's slogan says it all.

Welcome to the Friendly City.

Not only are we friendly here in Harrisonburg, we're treated to a great variety of good food. Considering our relatively rural location in the Shenandoah Valley, the 'Burg is big time.

While there is already a great selection of local farmer's markets, worker-owned restaurants, and nuts-and-berries shops o'plenty, I'm looking forward to the creation of the Friendly City Food Co-Op. It plans to offer a "consumer-owned, democratically run, grocery market that emphasizes healthy foods, quality goods and local produce."



If you live in Virginia, you can join! I am.

I like thinking about our money being spent on local goods in a locally owned shop... that we can ride bikes to! 'cause it won't be on the "NOVA" side of town. I can't wait!

Who else loves a good co-op?
