Care of Employees
The Co-op board has generously moved to both increase paid time off and wages during this crisis. Employees who aren’t feeling well are encouraged to stay home at the first sign of illness and are given more sick pay if they need to cover the time off. We don’t want employees to have to choose between being paid or staying home to take care of themselves. Employees also received a hazard pay increase of $2/hr.
Some Co-op staff members have changed their hours to earlier or later day to be in the store when it is quieter. Other staff members have chosen not to work at this time. We support them in their decisions to do what is best for them and their families.
COVID Protocols
In addition to the staff policy changes and curbside pick up, the Co-op has implemented safety protocols in response to Covid19. Staff who are working in the downstairs shopping area wear masks. Our cloth masks, made by Rui and Jessie, are sterilized after every use. Frequent and thorough handwashing and glove use are encouraged. When filling orders, one personal shopper picks each order to reduce the number of people touching the groceries.
Throughout the day, frequently contacted surfaces are sanitized, and bulk bin scoops are sterilized frequently. Outside of work, staff members are asked to take their temperature daily and follow strict physical (social) distancing.
Curbside Pickup at Buffalo Mountain Co-op
We moved to curbside pickup on March 20, 2020 in response to the Covid19 pandemic. We believe this service is the safest and best way to serve our community. Know that we are committed to keeping our community fed.

How it Works

Picking up Orders
We will call when your order is ready. If you arrive before you are called, we cannot guarantee your order is ready.
If we know when you are arriving, your order will be on the table outside waiting for you.
Otherwise, a staff member will come out and assist you with your order.
Note: Please keep your social distance when picking up an order. Please stand six feet away from the door so we can safely step out to greet you.
Hot Tips
Put money on your personal Credit Account (AKA Gift Card) and charge your orders to your account. Cutting out this time-consuming step in our process makes it so we can fill more of your orders! Call us to do this.
Let us know when you place your order if you are willing to accept substitute items.
We sadly cannot pack orders in previously used reusable bags at this time. We also are not using cardboard boxes.
Make sure you pick up all your bags. We are packing dry goods, refrigerated, and frozen items in separate bags. The bright paper attached to your bag indicates how many bags you have in your order.
We have gorgeous bread, meat, and produce for you. Check out our website and social media for current availability.
