OUR STORY

Muskoka North Good Food Co-operative was conceived from a series of grassroots initiatives developed under various names with a collective vision since 2013. The evolution from Muskoka’s culinary tourism focus to local food sustainability, agri-food education and economic development is what led to the establishment of Muskoka North Good Food Co-operative (MNGFC) in 2014.

MNGFC places community benefit alongside profitability and connects local farmers to a growing consumer base through a Grocery Retail Market, Café, and Commercial Production Kitchen. As a community-owned grocery store & food hub, MNGFC provides sustainable, ethical, and good food for the communities it serves. MNGFC is an innovative solution to pressing social, economic and environmental problems facing Ontario and the globe: insecure local food systems, catastrophic global food production, rising transportation costs, and the steady depletion of Canada’s small scale farmers.

MNGFC is an initiative which tackles these major social issues and offers new ideas for wide-scale change in the supply and demand capacities in Muskoka and Northern Ontario.
