Your Co-op Food is the food business of The Midcounties Co-operative. The Midcounties Co-operative traces its history to the mid 19th century, a time when ordinary people began to establish co-operatives to better themselves and their communities. Its history dates back to the 19th century, when the first co-operative society was established; with the Industrial Revolution in full swing, many working people found it hard to find decent food at a fair price. 1844 saw the birth of the first successful retail co-operative, started by the Rochdale Pioneers, who opened their shop on Toad Lane, Rochdale, aiming to supply quality goods at fair prices to help fund their own community. Just over 40 years later, 1,400 societies had been set up across the UK, and as times changed many had to combine to create larger, more efficient organisations.

Ethical, sustainable and top-quality food with a community and Fairtrade focus.
