Welcome! Terre Foods Cooperative Market is a member-owned, natural foods grocery store that is forming in Terre Haute, Indiana. We will be a full service grocery store, open seven days a week, that will serve Terre Haute and the Wabash Valley community by providing access to local, organic, and natural foods at a fair price.
Terre Foods is being formed by a group of people who value good food and a strong, sustainable community. We believe so strongly in the benefits of a cooperative grocery store that many of us have become member-owners before the storefront has opened. Becoming a member and telling others about our venture are the best ways that you can help make this market a reality. Once our doors are open, everyone, members and non-members alike, will be able to shop at a place that focuses on quality and building community.
Below you will find some of Terre Food's latest News Items. To learn more about the cooperative, or how to become a member, click on the menu links above. Enjoy our site, and spread the word!

| | Blueberry Festival Schedule, Vendors & Sponsors |  DOWNLOAD THE .PDF BROCHURE HERE!! STICK THEM EVERYWHERE (that it's legal to put them)!
We've got a great time lined up for us all, Thursday, July 15th from 11am-8pm, outside the Central Presbyterian Church at the corner of 7th and Larry Bird. We'll have live music, baked goods, kid's activities, and all the fresh local blueberries your heart desires (and your heart does desire them!).
Blueberries for the festival will be provided by Siders Blueberry Farm in Rochester, Indiana. This year, we welcome four vendors to the Blueberry Festival--Caboodles Cupcakes will serve up blueberry cupcakes and other fun flavors; Appleseed Farms will be there with blueberry pies; Yellow House Honey will have local honey and living blueberry bushes for sale, ready to plant; and Market Bella Rossa will be selling delicious drinks to keep you cool during the festival. We hope that these vendors will compliment our great little local festival, and give our participants more of what they want!
Central Presbyterian Church will be hosting a Christian Art Exhibit during the festival, featuring the work of Shari LeMonnier. The Children's Museum has generously agreed to provide entertainment for our children during the festival. Terre Foods will be there with our wildly successful bake sale, and will also have blueberry festival t-shirts for sale and other giveaways--don't forget to stop by!

I recently moved from Austin, TX to Terre Haute, IN and love everything about this community: the people are nice and inviting; it's affordable and easy to get around; and it's so close to many other exciting communities like Indianapolis and Chicago. The only thing I'm missing about Austin, besides a few friends, is my food co-op. Belonging to a co-op is more than just the opportunity to purchase organic and natural foods, it's a chance to be a part of a community of people working to make Terre Haute, and the world, a better place.

Lookout Farm is a local producer of hay, beans, wheat, corn and Alpacas and Alpaca products. We also raise chickens, herbs, vegetables and eggs for sale. We welcome the organization of the new co-op market, and intend to support it by supplying quality food products for sale to customers interested in natural food products. We feel that this new venture will serve a much-needed place in our community.
