The Dublin Food Co-op is a food co-operative located in The Liberties area of Dublin, Ireland, which deals primarily in organic wholefood produce. Based in a large former warehouse, the Co-op holds food markets on Saturday and Thursday, and the venue hosts other markets on most Sundays, as well as a variety of member and community events.
Operating since 1983, the Co-op's founding pre-dates the more recent popularity of farmers' markets, from which it now seeks to distinguish itself with the slogan "Much more than a farmers' market!". It also differs from farmers' markets by excluding meat and meat products, in keeping with its constitution.
