Ukiah Natural Foods Co-op - Ukiah (CA)

5 /5 JoAnn SkyWatcher: I joined The Ukiah Coop in the early 70s. Yes, Ukiah Natural Foods is still cooperatively owned. I am member number 48. I remember when it was next to the railroad tracks and it was called The Homestead Exchange. We could order fruit trees, and get staples, like brown rice at a cheaper price. When I visit Ukiah, I like to drop in to the "Coop" and see what is new or whom I might run in to. It is a great place to run into old friends if you become a regular. I love that you can buy things in bulk, and bring your own container (and keep plastic out of landfills). They have bulk honey, oils, nuts, seeds, beans, herbs and spices, and even sell shampoo, and essential oils in bulk. They have beautiful displays of organic fruit and vegetables. You can buy prepared foods and eat inside their new dining area. Or get a really great coffee drink or smoothie. If you dont live in the area, you might want to make a plan to drop by and see what you might find.

4 /5 Terri Bonow: This is a small natural food store near the main part of town. Its a cooperative. It lacks a good fresh local bread section. But has good soup.

5 /5 Isaiah Hernandez: Customers: Please be nice to your cashiers! If not nice, then be polite. Smells good in there, I think. Come experience Ukiahs diverse health, holistic foods, and eavesdrop local gossip. Clean and safe environment. I did hear someone say that someone saw a rat outside, "Get the manager!" But, thats where rats are supposed to be!

4 /5 Oliver MacDonald: My wife and I love this place. Highlights include an excellent coffee selection, refillable water station with alkaline water, high quality meat and chicken, local Mendocino flour, and many other locally sourced foods. Everything is really good quality. The cafe/fresh food section is great too. I wish they sold seafood here.

5 /5 Chas Ham: Ukiah’s answer to Whole Foods. But better. They actually carry local organic and sulfate free wines unlike Whole Foods. I especially appreciate their produce department. It is 100% organic.
