First Alternative Natl Foods

I love shopping here. Before we moved here, we came on work/vacation and had been told about the co-op. We visited right away. Now we live here and though we don't live in Corvallis, this is a regular, at least twice monthly shopping trip for us. Our family has lots of allergies and health issues, so we can find lots of food alternatives here that we cannot get in regular grocery stores. There are also things we specically eat organically, so again, we can find it here. I love that it is not perfumy (usually)-and that the people who work and shop there are aware of the harmful effects of perfume, so us asthmatics can 99% of the time shop there safely. It is expensive to shop there, but if it's truly needed in your diet, then you learn to cut in other areas. I just wish we had a coop in Lebanon, where I live. more

It is my favorite store. The prices are sometimes double but at least you know what you eat. It has just organic food and fresh meat or milk from local farmers. I love the cheese they have tasty olives. You even have an option of sharing their profits by purchasing a membership. more

First Alternative Natural Foods Company opened in the north side of town was a very good addition to the existing grocery stores. It carries only organic food and fresh meat from local farmers, making it the number one store for health maniacs. The prices are quite high, double of those from the regular food retailers, but if you cut the portion size in half, it compensates for the unhealthy food habits! more
