GreenTree carries a wide variety of products from both local, regional, and national vendors. In addition to the products we carry in the store, many items can be special ordered by the case. We offer a discount of 10% to Owners who order items in case quantities, even if the item is already on sale. You can place a Special Order in the store or via phone at 989-772-3221. Payment is accepted at the time of pick-up. To inquire about the availability of a particular item, you can call the store directly, or contact the appropriate department buyer.
We are a full-service grocery store. The Co-op has a large selection of grocery items, including frozen and refrigerated items, a grab-n-go deli, fresh produce, a large bulk section, and a wellness department.
GreenTree’s goal is to remain Mt. Pleasant’s premier retail provider of organic and natural foods. We offer Owners and shoppers a choice of products and information that promote personal, economic and environmental health and sustainability. We act as a buying agent for our Owners, not a selling agent for manufacturers.
The buyers at GreenTree are presented with a wide range of products and must determine what products should or should not be carried by our store. Our goal is to maintain an unbiased balance of quality, value and convenience.
In order to guide our buyers’ choices we give strong preference to the following products:
- Certified organic

- Produced utilizing practices that support sustainable agriculture
- Certified Non-GMO/BioEngineered
- Grown/made/produced in Michigan

- Produced and distributed by vendors who meet city and state civil rights policies and run their businesses ethically

- Help meet the needs of people on specialty diets, such as products that are wheat-free, gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, vegan, etc
- Desired by our members and shoppers

In addition, customer requests will be reviewed and considered. Whenever possible the store will provide information on research regarding pesticides, herbicides, fungicides and artificial or potentially harmful additives. Also, information regarding the ingredients of products and their manufacturing processes as well as nutritional values of products will be provided.
This policy may be amended by management at any time, and will be reviewed annually by the Co-op’s Board of Directors.
