Park Slope Food Coop

About

The Park Slope Food Coop (PSFC) is a food cooperative located in the Park Slope neighborhood of Brooklyn in New York City. It is one of the oldest and largest active food co-ops in the United States. As a food cooperative, one of its goals is to be a "buying agent to its members, not a selling agent to any industry." Non-members may visit the store as a guest of a member, but may not shop.

Formed in 1973, PSFC had grown to include nearly 17,000 members as of July 2025. The PSFC business model requires each of its adult members to contribute 2 hours and 45 minutes of work every six weeks. In exchange, active members may shop at the store. The store sells a variety of foods and household goods, some environmentally friendly products, at a 25% markup over the wholesale price (compared to 26–100% at a supermarket). Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the markup was 21%, and members facing financial hardship can remain at the lower markup. The savings are possible because labor is contributed by its members. PSFC operates as a New York state cooperative corporation.
