Founded in 1971, New Pioneer is celebrating it's 50th anniversary in 2021. New Pioneer's founders were committed to environmental stewardship and sought food that was naturally delicious and healthful. Today, we maintain those same commitments, and over 35,000 community members own a share in this grocery store.
We look forward to celebrating with you throughout the year. The early Co-op featured an extensive bulk section with lots of grains and beans, peanut butter and honey, granola and cheese. Working members helped run the business. Members at large elected the Board of Directors, who oversaw the business.

Organics
Report
At New Pi, you'll find that the majority of the everyday products you buy can also be raised, grown, or produced in a sustainable, clean way. We believe in the inherent value of organic food, both for our palates, for our bodies, and for its impact on the environment.
But, did you know that New Pi's established relationships with organic producers means that our organic food is often less expensive than the organic products at a regular grocery store?Why? Their thin, penetrable skins and water-based make-up make it easy for chemical sprays to be absorbed. Why? Bell peppers are a top Dirty Dozen vegetable that absorb chemicals through their thin skins.
