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.

Famous quotes containing the word food:
“God gave the righteous man a certificate entitling him to food and raiment, but the unrighteous man found a facsimile of the same in God’s coffers, and appropriated it, and obtained food and raiment like the former. It is one of the most extensive systems of counterfeiting that the world has seen.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
