Port Orford Community Co-op
~ Everyone can shop. Anyone can join. ~
We are open Wednesday - Saturday 10am - 5pm
Who are these smiling people?
They're POCC volunteers and staff – some of the people who make our special store run.
From the investor whose loan made it possible for the co-op to get up and running, to front-of-store workers, to Permaculture Demonstration Garden volunteers and others who work behind the scenes – plus the wonderful Board of Directors who hosted this party this weekend – these folks and others clock hours per week or month to create and sustain the place you shop.
When you get a chance, please let the volunteers know how much you appreciate them and what they do for POCC.
And if you're interested in joining this happy crew, come in and fill out a volunteer application. There are many, many ways to get involved!
The POCC Fiscal Year runs October 1 - September 30. Our 2023-2024 documents are now ready.

Who We Are
The Port Orford CommUnity Co-op Board of Directors officially organized the Co-op as an Oregon Cooperative Corporation in November 2012. Once a location was selected, the Co-op opened its doors for business Summer 2013, in conjunction with the Farmer's Market held in the parking lot.
The Co-op has received overwhelming support from the community of Port Orford through donations, memberships, letters to the local papers, and volunteers.
Our Purpose
The presence of a local Co-op benefits the Port Orford community by complementing the existing businesses rather than competing with them. The Co-op allows:
• Support of local farmers, thereby contributing to the continuing viability of local farms;
• Dollars circulating within the community;
• Easier access to a wider variety of healthy, organic and natural foods;
• An educational service to the community in regard to healthy living and health-supportive cooking and eating habits;
• A community meeting place for discussions and sharing information about the environment, economic localization, and other topics of concern;
• A financially viable enterprise that contributes to the economic vitality of Port Orford.
