I shopped for about a year and a half at the Takoma Park/Silver Spring Co-Op on the DC/MD border. I loved the friendly small-town atmosphere, how laid-back everything was, how I knew all the cashiers, the healthy food selection, how they sourced what they could locally (even that they didn't carry foods that were wildly out of season), and how well they paid their employees. It was a community staple and donated to local charities and initiatives. Yes, I paid more than I would have at the Safeway down the street, but it made me feel like a better citizen and it wasn't as faceless as the Safeway.
