FoodLobby

A food coop and buyer's club located at the Los Angeles EcoVillage (LAEV)

About Us

Food Lobby is a consumer food coop organized at the Los Angeles Ecovillage (LAEV/USTU) in Koreatown. Anyone can be a member. If you live in Koreatown, south of Silver Lake, in East Hollywood, or anywhere nearby, please consider participating.

LAEV/USTU is located in the dense urban neighborhood near 1st Street and Vermont Ave, at 117 Bimini Place.

Members may order fresh produce and buy bulk-purchased grains, nuts, pasta and other organic foods. In exchange for leveraging the buying power of our coop, members work about two hours every five weeks. More Food Coop Specifics

Bulk Buy Info

We buy in bulk from Azure Standard every four weeks. If you would like to buy large quantities for your personal or communal use, information about how to sign up for the order is on the grocery bulk buy page. Your purchase of larger bags or cases of food or household items help us meet our minimum order for delivery.

If you only want smaller quantities, you can buy them by weight or unit in the Bulk Room.
