The Neighboring Food Co-op Association (NFCA) is a federation of member-owned food co-ops across New England and New York. It operates within the retail groceries sector and is based in Shelburne Falls, Massachusetts. The organization works to foster a cooperative economy rooted in a healthy, just, and sustainable food system, and to nurture a vibrant community of cooperative enterprises within its network of member co-ops. Its customers are the member co-ops and their communities, with the NFCA focusing on addressing challenges such as balancing financial sustainability with access to healthy, affordable food, supporting local economies, and building fair relationships with workers and producers. As a small organization, it coordinates activities across the regional network. In 2025, a member co attended the NFCA's Annual Shareholder Meeting and Executive Director Erbin Crowell delivered the keynote, illustrating ongoing governance and engagement within the network.
