Ypsilanti Food Co-op

[1] Also owned by the co-op is the River Street Bakery, which features the only wood-fired brick oven in commercial use in Washtenaw County.

The Ypsilanti Food Co-op, in turn, is owned by its membership and governed by its board of directors.

The shared building also is home to two beehives that are part of the Local Honey Project, managed by members, and they live in the adjacent called "Honeybee Alley".

The Mill Works Building, in which the co-op resides, was originally a foundry that made wheels for grinding flour.

Co-op members receive a weekly newsletter, voting rights for the Board of Directors election, and a small discount on most retail items in the store.
