Old North Grocery Co-op stocks locally raised meats and fresh produce grown within 100 miles of its door. Shoppers can take home local meats, cheeses, and veggies, whipping up healthy omelets with a dozen local eggs ($3.50) and drinking locally roasted coffee from Chauvin and the Turner Center for the Arts ($11/lb.). Like an extremely patient carousel, the selection of local produce rotates with the seasons, bringing Georgia peaches ($1.99/lb.) and 13th Street Garden raspberries ($1.00/quarter pound) in the summer.
Customers can get 10 percent savings on all groceries by purchasing a lifetime membership, which includes an equity share and one-time joining fee. In addition to getting a say in the management of the store, Old North members can run in board elections, re-purposing campaign slogans saved from bitter races for middle-school class treasurer.
