Idaho Cooperative is a produce co-operative, or a community of individuals and families that come together to share in seasonal foods and to work together to create a better balance of peace and harmony for all. Idaho Cooperative was created for the joy and love of all things organic. The co-op has a three day a week pick up schedule.
The boxes are called “shares” because we buy the food in bulk, and we split it amongst everyone. Because it is seasonal and because it is a co-operative, people will not always receive exactly what they want or in the quantities they want. It is learning to share what’s available and be cooperative. The best joys come from being creative with the unexpected surprises in your box and being able to share the most delicious and healthiest of foods with your friends and family!
EVERYTHING is certified organic, and we try to get as much produce from our local, organic, south and central Idaho farmers that we can. Our main source for local produce is from XXXXXXXX in XXXXX, Idaho. If they are not growing enough or are in a transition period between seasons, we depend on our distributor chain to bring us year-round variety.
The co-op is based on the premise of buying organic produce at wholesale cost to save, to create community, and to support local farmers.
Please note that REAL organic food is much different than what you will find in the stores. Sometimes it looks uglier, and sometimes it shines like the sun. Either way, it always has a stronger and more delicious taste! The produce may have dirt on it, but you can easily wash it off. There are also times when you may have some bugs or caterpillars in your food. This is normal! You want your food to be grown in the dirt! In the natural world, we are not the only ones who eat fruits and veggies. Nature is there for all to enjoy. Real food may have these elements of surprise. I promise, your food is not infested…this is natural. 😉 Welcome to organic!
Please remember that the more shares that we have that day, the more abundance we will have. We buy as much from local, organic farmers as we can and with what they have available. The more that we buy from them, the more they can produce. The more they produce, the more we can support them!
There are SEVERAL reasons to buy organic, many having to do with not depleting our nature’s soil. Organic produce has 3x the amount of nutrients contained in non-organic produce. One person must eat 21 conventionally-grown oranges to get the same amount of nutrition contained in 7 organic oranges. Not to mention, they ALWAYS taste better! After a while, you will be able to even taste the difference in non-organic bananas and ours. YES! We also want to support sustainable practices, and when we put our dollars toward sustainable, that is exactly what we will create more of in the world! Let-tuce create abundance!
The co-op is different from a CSA in the sense that we are not one local farm that provides for a group of people each growing season. We are a co-operative community where we buy from many different organic farmers at bulk prices, and we split the shares so that we all get an abundance of raw, fresh, ripe, organic, and local produce at the best wholesale prices possible. Think of it as a really awesome buying club! We also get a wider variety of fruits and vegetables because we are buying from more than one source. In addition, we support more than one organic or local farmer. You are not required to buy by the week or the season. You reserve a share whenever you want. The co-op is all about having fun with your food, learning to eat more raw foods, regaining health, saving money, and enjoying community along the way!
You pay for your box when you order it. A HUGE amount of trust is given to everyone in that if they reserve their box, they are expected to pick-up the day they reserved for. We try to establish a safe community built on honesty and appreciation. We order exactly the amount of food that we need for the day, so anyone who does not pick up will not be allowed to switch days. Because of our ordering methods and best practices to get and keep prices down, we can not allow for switch-outs or refunds after produce has been ordered. You area able to assign pick up to someone other than you in the event you are not able to make it. Simply shoot us an email - orders@idahocooperative.com and let us know your game plan. We'll do our best to pivot and support where we are able.
The cut off times are as follows:
Sunday by 10 PM for Tuesday pick-up
Tuesday by 10 PM for Thursday pick-up
Thursday by 10 PM for Sunday pick-up
*If you forgot to order and realize this after the cut off time, please email orders@idahocooperative.com to check on availability.
Idaho Cooperative is based upon the premise of eating a 100% raw food or a vegan lifestyle. Life comes from the purity and simplicity of these healthy, raw foods. The co-op aims to offer abundant amounts of produce that allow one to succeed in a 100% raw food lifestyle. We do not offer any meat or dairy products. Of course, not everyone in the co-op is a raw food vegan; however, everyone comes to appreciate the fresh, goodness of this organic and local food. Many try to improve their health, many come for the tastes, and many come to be a part of the community. ALL are welcome.
Yes. Order as many boxes as you want. Select as many individual pieces of produce you want. Pay for it all online. Pick up on your designated pick-up day.
At this point, all payments are made via cash apps at time or ordering. Currently we accept Zelle, Venmo, and PayPal.
While each member commits to each share pick up schedule there are times where you need some support in getting your order. We change $20 per delivery location. Our delivery radius is within 20 miles of Idaho Cooperative. Please contact us if you have any questions about delivery to your area.
In the event you are not able to pick up your order and you don't want to pay additional for delivery your order will be donated to the coop in support of its efforts to maintain the facility.
Because our produce doesn't have preservatives it won't last long. Pick up or delivery on your scheduled day is recommended. We can hold your order for you but we don't have refrigeration and won't be able to guarantee its freshness in anyway.
We refund up to 24 hours after purchase. After that, our community orders have been placed with your order in mind.
