GreenStar Member Guide
GreenStar is a member-owned consumer cooperative
GreenStar is more than a grocery store. We’re collectively owned by more than 14,000 individuals like you, your friends, neighbors, and coworkers.
From our humble roots as a buying club in 1971 to currently operating three stores in Ithaca, we’ve always been committed to strengthening our local and regional food systems, supporting local growers and producers, and taking care of each other and our planet.
