Local Products | Cook County Co-op | Grand Marais, MN

If it can be local, we get it local.

Currently, we carry products from 19 Cook County producers. We get all that we can from producers in Minnesota, but we also have neighbors in the U.P., the Dakotas, Canada and Iowa with pretty amazing food.

Our local neighborhood is a bit bigger than most. Why? It can be hard to get delivery trucks this far north, especially from small-scale producers. That’s part of why our Board of Directors voted to define local as producers that are within a day’s drive of our co-op: approximately, a 400-mile radius. This distance matches the federal definition of local.
