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:
“That food has always been, and will continue to be, the basis for one of our greater snobbisms does not explain the fact that the attitude toward the food choice of others is becoming more and more heatedly exclusive until it may well turn into one of those forms of bigotry against which gallant little committees are constantly planning campaigns in the cause of justice and decency.”
—Cornelia Otis Skinner (1901–1979)
