This is a co-operative of small family farms, nurseries, orchards, and market gardens that have come together to streamline your local food ordering needs.
One platform, one transaction, one delivery or pickup,
multiple producers.
The Torch Lake Co-op formed in 2020, and it has worked so well for shoppers and producers alike that we have made it into a legacy project as a 100% farmer-owned non-profit co-operative. Shop for local food groceries on-demand twice a week, year-round with convenient pickups and delivery options all around our local area, see map on the FAQ page. This is an amazingly efficient way to plan your seasonal menus and buy your local food and plants directly from farmers, growers, and chefs,
all in one convenient place!
Please join our weekly newsletter to keep up to date with co-op news. You can find a signup on the Newsletter page.
The plant catalog is here year-round for dreamers and schemers to plan their annual gardens by reading about what co-op nursery growers are growing. Ordering your plants is still done through our online farmers market, and order cycles open on Earth Day every year. Click on the drop down menu to see cucumbers through zucchini.
