Hungry Hollow Co-op

What Hungry Hollow Co-op does

Hungry Hollow Co-op is a member-owned natural foods cooperative operating a single retail grocery store in Spring Valley, New York. The co-op sells certified organic and biodynamic produce, grocery items, dairy, supplements, body care, bulk foods, Fair Trade housewares and gifts, and offers prepared foods through an in-house Kitchen and a Juice Bar. A dedicated Refillery department supports package-free purchasing of household goods, and the store emphasizes locally sourced products from farms in the NY-NJ region and broader Northeast, including named suppliers Hawthorne Valley, Tierra Farms, and Superkrauts.

The business operates on a cooperative ownership model in which customers become Owner Members through an investment program, with profits retained for the community rather than distributed to external shareholders. The co-op operates eleven in-store departments under one roof and extends fulfillment through a Store by Web-powered online ordering system offering curbside pickup, as well as a third-party delivery partnership with DoorDash. Distribution channels are therefore omnichannel but entirely reliant on third-party platforms for e-commerce and delivery, with no proprietary technology disclosed.

Revenue is generated primarily through in-store and online retail transactions across grocery and prepared food categories, supplemented by membership investments. The go-to-market motion is community-led, driven by local sourcing, sustainability positioning, democratic governance, and member participation. The firm is a private non-profit cooperative with 1-10 employees and no disclosed funding rounds, institutional investors, or expansion beyond the Spring Valley storefront.
