MFC Departments

Joining is good for the community
and it’s good for you, too. 

Produce

Offering the best in organic, local, and seasonal produce.  

  • The Co-op considers local to be from the Upper Peninsula and works diligently with local family farms to source fresh, nutrient dense produce. Most regional, national, and international crops sourced from Co-op Partners Warehouse (CPW) in Minneapolis are certified organic and, when available, fair trade. From staple items like crisp greens and fair-trade bananas to specialty items like locally grown mushrooms and exotic citrus, the MFC is the place to shop for fresh produce.  

Meat & Seafood

Fresh, quality protein for every meal. 

  • We carry a range of products to meet the needs of every budget. You will find many options in our Meat & Seafood coolers & freezers – local and regional offerings, certified humanely raised, grass-fed, and organic. Our MFC branded products are cut, ground or blended in-house and created with care to make dinnertime easy.  

Beer & Wine

Both local and global options for everyone at your table. 

  • You’ll find our coolers stocked with quality beer crafted right here in Marquette, just blocks from our Co-op. We also have a great mix of other regional, national, and global offerings in every style, from drinkable lagers to full-bodied IPAs and fruity sours. If wine is your drink of choice, we provide a wide selection made from organically grown grapes. You’ll find a perfect pairing for your meal at any price range. We also carry seltzers, canned cocktails, and non-alcoholic and gluten-free beer.  

Marquette Baking Co.

Baked locally and cooperatively owned — delivered fresh daily.  

  • The Marquette Baking Co. is an off branch of the grocery store, owned by Co-op members and operated by the MFC. In the store, you’ll find artisanal bread, cakes, cookies, granola, and other freshly baked goods made from scratch using traditional, hands-on methods by our talented team of bakers. The offsite bakery is located on Baraga Ave. and delivers to the Co-op daily.

Grocery

From pantry staples to exotic ingredients, we have everything you need.  

  • We offer experienced and knowledgeable customer service and a wide array of products that fit every dietary need. Our grocery department sources sustainable food and household items made by socially conscious producers from around the globe and down the street. You’ll find organic options for less with our Field Day house brand, as well as high-end and hard-to-find ingredients. Grab a Co-op Deals sales flyer at the main entrance and find clear shelf tags throughout the store to easily find sale items, staff picks, and locally-made products. 

Cheese

From everyday favorites to specialty, hard-to-find flavors and everything between. 

  • Whether you’re building an impressive cheese board for a gathering or grabbing a single wedge for tonight’s dinner recipe, the Co-op’s cheese department will have what you need. From fine Wisconsin cheddars to cave-aged European specialty cheeses, we offer a diverse selection of more than 100 varieties from around the world. Our staff is always happy to assist in selecting the perfect cheese for any occasion.  

Prepared Foods

Fresh, delicious, and ready-to-eat foods available every day.  

  • Our talented and hard-working Prepared Foods team keeps the hot bar, salad bar, and grab & go coolers stocked with convenient options, prioritizing freshness, flavor, or nutrition. Enjoy globally inspired dishes on the hot bar, a colorful salad bar with organic veggies, and tons of pre-packaged options like sandwiches, deli salads, sushi, and more. Ingredients are high quality and organic when possible, and we avoid using products that contain things like artificial colors and preservatives, high fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated oils, etc. Items are clearly labeled with all ingredients.

We strive to provide access and choice by offering a balanced selection from well-established and easily recognizable certified brands, high-quality co‑op private‑label products, and smaller makers who share our values. We source within the trusted natural products ecosystem and alongside National Co-op Grocers to ensure products meet widely recognized quality, safety, and transparency standards, including Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) status, and respected third-party certifications.
