# Collective Eating Enterprises People's Food Co-Op is an Organization Based on Cooperation By Social Business Editor | Published 2014-08-19 | Social Good Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peoples-food-coop References: [facebook](https://www.facebook.com/PeoplesFoodCoopPDX) & [peoples.coop](http://www.peoples.coop/) The People's Food Co-Op is exactly what it sounds like: it's a [food cooperative](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fresh-thyme-markets) that's meant for the people. Not only does it have a retail store where you can buy groceries, it also puts on collective events such as yoga and hosts community meanings like the upcoming super interesting one called, "Strategy: Perspectives on Anarchist Theory Event." The crew also has a year-round [farmers' market](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-polymarket) on Wednesday afternoons. But what we love especially about the People's Food Co-Op, especially since we're not based in Portland, Oregon, is that their [Facebook](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meal-planning-systems) page posts various menus, like the recent Creamy Cucumber-Avocado Salad Dressing from Sunset Magazine.
