The Putney Food Co-op is one of the oldest co-ops in the country. It was founded in 1941, when fuel shortages due to World War II made it hard to obtain certain grocery items. To get needed supplies, a group of Putney citizens led by Carol Brown formed the Putney Co-op according to the Cooperative Principles. Cash raised from selling member shares was used to rent a store front, (purchased in 1944) obtain goods, and hire staff.The Putney Food Co-op today is a community market and delicatessen offering a diverse selection of quality products, friendly and knowledgeable service, in a convenient location with easy parking.
