On your way down Hwy 101, just past the sand dunes is Coos Bay and North Bend.  There we encountered the Coos Head Food Store.  It’s actually a non-profit working on becoming a coop.   A long and narrow store with bulk items, grocery, frozen food and produce areas.

They had lots of edgy signs up encouraging  people to think about what they are buying and where they are buying it from.  We have included them because they are working toward conversion to a co-op.  They have the principles on the wall and a brochure talking about it…we send our best wishes to them!

The young man we spoke with gave us info on the area….They have beaches (Bastendorff?  we think this is close), Rogers Zoo and a Bazaritorium.

We did not spend much time in North Bend.  It was the 3rd of july and we were anxious to get a campsite that night. Fortunately, earlier that day, we found one near Devil’s Churn at the Cape Perpetua Campgrounds.  We found it hard to believe that there were any spaces left at this absolutely gorgeous State park!

About Co-op Traveler

The Co-op Traveler is for...folks that seek out local food, folks and fun. Our work is based on the premise that if there is a food co-op in a community, there must be some cool things going on there. We are traveling the country (and ultimately the world!) to experience these places and share them with you...so you can create your local adventure in these places too... We are food co-op geeks for sure...but we can't help it. We are big into great local food (we co-own LIFE Certified Organic Farm) and great local businesses (we co-own Nature's Crossroads seed company) and the local scene (we talk to many, love to hike, bike, kayak...). So we seek these places/things out wherever we go...
