Mountain People's Co-Op is an amazing mountain town grocery store and a small town jewel. It is a small shop in a tiny town, but it has all the variety one could dream of, packing in a lot of goodness. The store has all the basics for cooking, with very high quality brands. Many adore the bulk section for essentials like stunning flours, freshly ground peanut butter, herbs, and tea. The local coffee section is also incredible. Their hot and cold deli food is phenomenal, prepared fresh on-site. They make it a priority to have a hot vegan option and a sweet vegan option up front every day, along with cold vegan sandwiches and salads. Options include burritos, a tofu sandwich, grilled tofu satay, and a favorite grilled tempeh sandwich. Their vegan baked goods are incredible, featuring items like molasses ginger cookies, vegan chocolate chip cookies, blueberry muffins, and vegan brownies. They offer many options for vegans and those who are gluten free, including vegan cheeses, ice creams, and meat alternatives. They list if items contain gluten and their ingredients by conventional or organic. The store supports local businesses and producers as much as possible and is a great support in the community. The staff is very friendly, helpful, and kind. Prices are high, which is somewhat to be expected for a small mountain community and a health food specialty store, but the bulk items are more affordable. It is a local go-to spot and a co-op that many are thankful is still holding strong.
Love their sherpa chai and warm food! Very friendly and helpful staff. Unique collection of teas and spices. Many vegetarian and vegan options.

I love refilling my mason jar of freshly ground peanut butter and grabbing herbs and tea. Their fresh foods are also great. Love this place. Wish more grocery stores were like this
