Our History
Report
In 1976, Honest Weight was founded by a group of friends to improve access to healthy and responsible foods. Forty-four years later, we're operating the same way. Our friend group has just grown a bit. Honest Weight Food Co-op began in January of 1976 as a bulk buying club, started by a group of about 20 friends and neighbors who wanted access to then-unusual ingredients like whole wheat flour.

Directions
Report
To reach the Co-op from Interstate 90, take exit 5. Go south toward Central Avenue but take your first left turn onto Watervliet Ave Extension. The Co-op entrance will be on your right, after the Motel 6 and opposite YNN News 9. CDTA bus Route #125 Clinton/Sand Creek directly services the Co-op.
It runs westbound from downtown Albany via Clinton Avenue to Colonie Center via Sand Creek Road, with a bus stop in front of 85 Watervliet Avenue, near the intersection at Essex St. Directly across the street and adjacent to the entrance to our parking lot, there is a bus stop with a shelter to serve patrons on the return trip eastbound from Colonie Center and heading downtown.

Shopping Honest Weight
Report
Honest Weight Food Co-op is a different kind of grocery store, but we're not an exclusive wholesale club! All are welcome and we are open to the public. Not a member? No problem! When you go into the Co-op, you can explore and enjoy and make purchases, just like at a conventional grocery store. When you check out, your cashier might ask you if you're a member-owner or if you have a member number.
