Super clean, well laid out, plenty of space, good selection, excellent bulk section, good cafe/deli. Wish there was EV charging/parking.

Beautiful store with delightful staff and some unique items. I buy a lot of organic produce and products and I don't kind paying a premium for them. However, this is one of the most expensive grocery stores I've ever been to. A striking example is bell peppers at over $8 per pound. Compare that to Tradewinds just down the street, their bell peppers of the same color is under $2 a pound. To be fair, most items are not 4 times more expensive than other stores but they are priced significantly higher. Quality is not always the best either: an onion was half rotten when I sliced it open on the same day I purchased it. Also, there are some puzzling product misses like hemp milk. Overall it's a good store--just a bit disappointing.

We were so pleased to find this large food co-op/grocery store in the area. It is open to the public (no membership needed) and has an incredible selection of sometimes hard-to-find items for special diets (vegan, gluten free, etc). Produce is super fresh and they prioritize sourcing locally grown and organic options. Bulk section includes things like oats, baking flour, nuts, maple syrup, and quite a bit more. Lots of pantry staples, coffees, beer + wine, and basically anything you’d need out of a grocery store. I was so pleased to find vegan cheese alternatives, as well as several vegan grab-and-go items near their deli. I haven’t tried anything from the cafe area, but look forward to doing so soon! I appreciate their dedication to covid measures too.

Were looking for someone near the Osgood trail for breakfast and stopped by here for breakfast sandwiches. They were delicious. Also a good selection of coffee. The store itself has a number of healthy/organic options and sells items in bulk to reduce on packaging. Was a very cute store and might stop here for breakfast again or picnic supplies before we leave.

Our summer hours begin after Memorial Day :)

We don't. The only sort of decorating things we have are confetti sprinkles and natural food coloring. We also have coarse turbinado sugar.

Unfortunately we so not offer shipping at this time. We have curbside pickup and offer delivery inside Blue Hill.

Does our Co Op carry indavidual Dill pickles? If not could we consider carrying them? Thanks much.

Thank you for the suggestion. We don't carry individual dill pickles at this time, but I will pass the suggestion to the grocery manager.

Can a member put money on their account so that when they shop they can use that money toward their purchase. This would benefit shopers because the casheir lines would move more quickly, the Co Op would benefit because there would be fewer charges

We're not currently set up for this. Some owners use our gift cards to shop as a way of prepaying. It is an interesting idea though.

How come owners are not emailed when Co Op is having Board meetings in person?

Gregory Paulmier | Aug 19, 2021
Blue Hill Co-op | Aug 19, 2021

This is an organizational problem. We're in the process of restructuring our email campaigns and this will be addressed for future meetings. Sorry for any inconvenience.

What are the Covid safety practices like here?

We have a strict mask-wearing policy. All carts and baskets are sanitized between uses as well as the register, belt, credit card key pad etc. Employees are required to wash their hands frequently and wear a mask at all times. We encourage seniors and immune-compromised customers to shop during the first hour of operation and ask anyone who is sick or been exposed to someone ill to use WebCart online shopping and curbside pickup.

We carry Bob's RedMill oat flour and many other of their products but not steel ground oats. We do carry gluten-free steel cut oats from Nature's Path, as well as a bulk option.
