La Montañita Co-op

La Montanita Food Cooperative is New Mexicos largest community-owned natural foods market. It is a store where the community can stop by for beautiful produce from farmers down the road, delicious lunches prepared by expert deli chefs, beautiful gifts handmade by local artisans, and a wide selection of local and organic groceries including bulk foods, meats and cheeses, and natural body care. The company opened its first store serving 300 families in 1976 at the corner of Central and Girard in Albuquerque. Since then it has grown to more than 17,000 families owning six stores in Albuquerque, Gallup and Santa Fe.
