Most co-ops pair with local distributors and national ones (the most prominent being National Co-op Grocers - https://ncg.coop) to actually get the food, but tons of steps to do before we are ready for this!

Wow. So this is a process. I can understand that when the goal is likely sustainability, scale and longevity. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Just to clarify NCG is not a distributor but an overarching organization which helps Grocery Co-ops nationwide to run their business.
A generally used distributer would be UNFI along with using local distributers.
