Welcome to the Sierra Vista Market!

Healthy Choices, Natural Goodness! That's our motto here at the Sierra Vista Market, the only member-owned natural foods co-op in Sierra Vista. We are all about giving you healthy choices to enhance your active lifestyle. Our focus on natural foods includes organic and local products, as well as hard-to-find foods.

While we don't actually have a store yet, we are well on our way to opening the doors. We had our first annual member meeting on May 12, 2006 with a fantastic turnout of over 80 people and made the front page of the Sierra Vista Herald as a result. At the meeting, members got to sample a cornocopia of natural foods and while they were eating, approved the co-op's bylaws and elected a board of directors.

We are currently in a major membership drive to reach the goal of 500 member shares sold in the community. We call this the Founding 500. We are happy to announce that as of the end of June 2006 we have sold over 300 member shares and have over 240 members!
