The idea of starting a cooperatively owned grocery store in Bloomington-Normal began in December of 2011. In August of 2012, Green Top was incorporated in the State of Illinois and began selling ownership shares later that month. In September of 2012, Green Top was chosen above 31 other co-op start-ups to receive the highly competitive $10,000 Seed Grant from the Food Coop Initiative (FCI).

Everyone was kind and helpful, and even went out of their way to help me. However, there are
very limited options to shop from. If you eat a specific/health conscious diet, this place is awesome. I love that they carry and support local produce, and their system for helping those who use LINK cards to match their dollars (up to $25 a day per user) for the fresh and local produce.
TL;DR Great if you're after particular items and produce, lackluster if you shop like a stereotypical American.

Green Top is a pleasant alternative to large supermarkets. In some ways it reminds one of the neighborhood grocery stores that were common in the early '80s and before. Many of their foods are organic, and many are locally grown (not all items, of course). Prices can be a bit high on many items, but many of the items aren't produced by large coporations and are of better quality. Some of my favorites include the flavored popcorn (the best I've ever had and so reasonably priced), great breads/bagels, fantastic chicken and bacon, nice selection of chocolate bars of various flavors

Small produce section! Produce prices are high. Nice location ! Not everything is from local growers or locally sought products. The Tuesday special, 1 dollar hard shell tacos are a great deal. The ready made soups, pastas, salads are the best feature this coop has along with great customer service !

Awesome locally owned co-op grocery. You don't have to be an owner to shop and eat there.
Tons of local produce/products plus everything you'd find in a big box store. There is also a taco/salad/soup bar and lots of ready-made quick grabs (Sammies, salads, yummy meatloaf).
Our favorites are the House-made Mexican chocolate cake (ready-made fridge section), yogurt pretzels, fresh ground peanut butter and blueberry granola (all in the bulk bins), greens from PrairiErth (produce), pancake mix from Funks and Central IL Bakehouse cro-nuts - croissant donuts (by the salad bar).

Great small grocery focusing on locally-grown / locally-produced food. One of the few places in the area to buy locally-grown rice, wheat, oats, and flour (check out the bulk bins), as well as other hard-to-find products like Funk's Grove maple sirup in bulk. I love the salad/taco bar and soups, and they have a great beer and wine selection.

Great small grocery in central Bloomington specializing in LOCAL, ORGANIC options. This is one of two stores in twin cities really centering in on showcasing local farmers. Selection is great - not just produce but local cheeses, locally milled grains, dairy products, eggs, etc. Cafe offers freshly prepared soups and sandwiches. Great creative wine and beer selection. Right off the hike and bike trail.
