Keweenaw Co-op Natural Foods & Groceries

This is the place to stop for picnic and camping provisions, because of its convenience and outstanding selection. The co-op is one of the Keweenaw's two small specialty groceries, along with Jim's by the Wells Fargo bank at the MTU campus. (The vast Econo Foods also carries many hard-to-find specialties.)

The co-op has an outstanding deli section. The store even carries meat and candy (verboten in many co-ops). There's an excellent wine, beer, and cheese selection, plus organic produce, good bread and crackers, dried fruit, gorp, nuts. Here are Asian and Middle Eastern ingredients, gourmet coffees and ice cream. Stop by for trail mixes and quality deli items before heading out to Copper Harbor, and you'll be prepared for impromptu picnics along the way.

As you drive north out of Hancock, U.S. 41 swings hard right at the Tire Center. To get to the co-op, don't go right, cross the other lane and go straight up onto Ethel. Co-op is in 2 blocks at Ethel and Ingot. (906) 482-2030. Mon-Sat 10-8, Sun 10-5. Wheelchair-accessible.
