Work at the Co-op

We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: the Skagit Valley Food Co-op is so much more than a grocery store. And the same is true when you work here!

When you join our team, you’re not just clocking in for a j-o-b. You’re joining a community of friendly, energetic, and welcoming shoppers, owners, farmers, makers, and fellow employees who are dedicated to our mission of providing the Skagit Valley community with healthy, natural, locally-sourced food, household goods, gifts, and more.

In fact, the majority of our employees are member-owners of the Co-op, giving them the opportunity to vote in board elections, which guides how our Co-op is governed.

If you want to support our community-owned store in the heart of Downtown Mount Vernon and work for an inclusive employer that celebrates diversity, we want to hear from you!
