· The Maryland Food Co-op started in the mid-1970's on the campus of University of Maryland.
· They are worker-owned which means that everyone who is hired as a "paid worker" shares an equal role and all responsibilities in operating the business of our natural food store.
· They also welcome people to volunteer at our store in exchange for food credit. Together, the workers and volunteers co-operate to provide cheap, healthy, veg-friendly food at fair prices.
· There are no bosses or managers, only people who are working for a space that maintains equality, a good atmosphere, and lots of music.
