Sevananda Natural Foods Market - Invest In Your Health, Literally
Sevananda Market
After doing some grocery shopping today I felt it would be a good idea to shed some light on the Sevananda Natural Foods Market located here in Atlanta, Ga. It has some unique characteristics when compared to other grocery stores, especially when you become a member. Some things that stand out about the organization are
- The entire store selection is vegetarian (no meat but they do have a few dairy products).
- Members get to vote on company decisions.
- They are independent and fully owned & operated by the local community of members as a cooperative. So instead of trying to improve a corporate bottom line, they pass on the savings and dividends to co-op members, through membership shares.
- They host cooking, wellness and nutrition classes.
- Membership ($20/yr) gives you access to discounts on groceries, classes, events, and access to banking services from B.O.N.D. Community Federal Credit Union.
Produce
Oats, grains, seeds, dried fruits
I've been shopping here for roughly 5+ years. Most of the produce is grown local and organic. Yea shopping organic does cost a little more but membership gets you a 10% discount on 1 shopping trip per month. They also have a hot bar that serves great food.
If you're ever in Atlanta stop by. It's located in the cool, hipster Little 5 Points community.
