From live music to delicious food, our small rural town sizzles in the summer! Whether you are a local resident or visiting for the first time, you will notice an abundance of fresh local food in area restaurants, our local farmers market, and right here at the co-op! 

In places where grocery chains may be scarce or non-existent, co-ops like the VFC provide a reliable source of affordable, quality food while strengthening the local economy.

The co-op is democratically controlled by its owners through an owner-elected board of directors. This year, three seats are up for election. Learn more to submit your application.

Spring is in full bloom, and so is our community! May is a month of fresh starts, joyful milestones, and new ways to enjoy everything our co-op has to offer. Here's what’s happening:

Garden Ridge Ranch is the recipient of this year’s VFC Microloan. Owned and operated by Darci and Justin Daniels, along with their four young children, Garden Ridge Ranch is a family-run farm committed to raising grass-fed beef, pastured pork, and certified organic strawberries.

We’re thrilled to announce that Viroqua Food Co+op offers catering through our deli! Whether you're organizing a business meeting, celebrating a birthday, hosting a family gathering, or simply looking for a way to treat your friends or coworkers to something special, we’ve got everything you need to make your event both delicious and stress-free.

Starting a garden is a fun, rewarding way to connect with your food and enjoy the satisfaction of harvesting something you grew yourself. The best part? You don’t need to know everything to get started. All it takes is a little curiosity and a willingness to learn.

The Viroqua Food Co+op is excited to announce a flavorful new addition to our deli offerings. We’ve partnered with ACE Sushi to bring fresh, hand-rolled sushi directly to our community!

Celebrating 30 years, the Viroqua Food Co+op has grown from a small buying club to a thriving cooperative, serving over 5,000 owners. Dedicated to providing local, organic products, we support small-scale farmers and sustainable practices. With a focus on community, sustainability, and health, we look forward to another 30 years of growth and success!

Small local farmers redefine success with diversified operations that create deeper connections with their communities.

Co-ops have been proven throughout history to be a successful way for people to reclaim economic power, freedom and independence.

The cacao industry faces challenges like low pay, child labor, and environmental harm, but Fair Trade practices, led by organizations like Equal Exchange, are working to create a more just and sustainable system. By supporting Fair Trade chocolate, consumers help ensure fair wages for farmers, promote eco-friendly production, and contribute to the long-term stability of the cacao trade.

For nearly 30 years, Sally Colacino has managed the Viroqua Food Co+op's grocery selection, ensuring products align with the mission to offer natural, organic, and local foods. The co-op prioritizes local producers, sustainable packaging, and special diets, while using customer feedback to curate a diverse, affordable product mix.

The Viroqua Food Co+op prioritizes sustainability, fairness, and community impact by sourcing organic, Fair Trade, and locally produced products that support ethical practices and environmental stewardship. As a member of National Co-op Grocers, the co-op offers affordable, mission-driven goods while strengthening local economies and fostering a global shift toward sustainable, equitable food systems.

The co-op wellness department is a trusted source for quality goods and knowledgeable staff.

In 2025, we commemorate 30 years as a co-op! Join us in celebrating all year long with articles and special events that highlight the many ways our mission-driven cooperative business serves the community.
