Are you interested in buying food
products at lower prices? If so, you
might consider joining the Brazos
Valley Food Co-op.
The Co-op buys food as a group
and distributes it to individual
members. It’s good food at good
prices, according to member
Dwight Tomkino.
The group buys grains, beans,
raisins, cashews and other types of
bulk food from the Yellow Rose
Warehouse Co-op in Austin, which
supplies a number of member
co-ops in the state. Eggs, cheese,
honey, fruits and vegetables are
purchased from local farmers.
“We try to get whatever the
membership wants.” Tomkins said.
“We do not have meat because it
requires special handling, but we
would supply it if the demand was
great enough,”
Some food items bought from
local farmers are not government-
inspected. Tomkins said that the
co-op also tries to get some organi
cally grown food.
Members of the group meet on
Tuesdays from 5 to 6 p.m. in a build
ing at the corner of Nimitz and Ash
Streets in College Station. Food
items are distributed at the weekly
meetings.
Some people come for food once
or twice a month and stock heavily
while others come each week.
Often the group meets in homes
of members to discuss types of food
to get, policies concerning distribu
tion, benefit dinners and ways to
create interest in the co-op.

$1.29 a pound we charge each buyer
the base cost and 10 percent of the
base price.” Tompkins said “So they
pay $1.42 per pound of cheese. ’
The money is used to maintain an
inventory of food products.
The Brazos Valley Food Co-op
started in October 1974 and has 15
to 20 members.
The group is planning to have
some benefit dinners soon to intro
duce people to the Co-op, Tomkims
said.
He said that the Co-op is open to
everyone. Both consumers and local
producers are invited to attend the
weekly distribution meetings .
