Co-ops + independent dining
Vegetarian Co-op at 2 Dickinson St. (2-D)
Undergraduate and graduate students comprise the members of this vegetarian co-op (no fish, poultry or meat but including milk, eggs, cheese, yogurt and other dairy products). Dinner is prepared at 6:30 each night by groups of three to five members. Each group cooks once a week. In addition, each member assumes a chore like ordering food, making bread, buying spices, cleaning and other tasks associated with running the co-op. Dinner is the only meal formally provided, but members have 24-hour, seven-days-a-week access to the kitchen, ingredients and leftovers. The cost is $500 per semester. For more information, please visit the 2-D website.
Brown Food Cooperative (216 Brown Hall)
The Brown Co-op can accommodate up to 25 members each semester. Members of this co-op do eat meat. Dinner is prepared each night at 6:30 by a group of members. Each group cooks once per week. Members also take responsibility for one other chore like shopping, sweeping or taking inventory. The group is very self-determined and responds to the desires of its current membership. Even inexperienced cooks are encouraged to join because other members are happy to offer "on-the-job training." The cost is $600 per semester although members frequently receive a rebate. Members also have keys to the kitchen for access to the equipment and food for other meals. For further information, please visit the Brown Co-op website.
International Food Co-op (IFC)
The International Food Co-op (IFC) began in 2009 as in alternative eating option for those interested in enjoying creative international cuisine. As its name suggests, this co-op will feature food from all parts of the world, cooked and enjoyed by its members in a friendly and familial atmosphere. Members cook once a week with three other members, and so those who join will learn to cook cuisines from many different countries, and in the company of other food aficionados. In addition, the IFC will have traditions and events that celebrate the holidays of cultures across the globe.IFC members may draw into and live in any building on campus, including Spelman.
