Mission Statement and Co-op Principles
Bluff Country Co-op strives to offer high quality natural foods at affordable prices to members and customers in the Winona area and works to provide a sense of community for citizens committed to building a stronger, and more sustainable, local culture.

Co-op principles:
 |
We operate according to the Internationally Accepted Cooperative Principles: open membership; one member, one vote; limited return on investment; earnings distributed according to patronage; continuous education about cooperatives; and cooperation among cooperatives. |
 |
We serve our members and the Winona community by offering the best available natural and high quality foods at affordable prices. We support sustainable, organic and local agriculture. |
 |
We cultivate member, board and worker participation and cooperation in all endeavors of our cooperative. We maintain and aim at a high level of member sales and member ownership to ensure the social and economic well-being of our organization. We educate members and our community about cooperative principles and effective cooperative citizenship. |
