Mapping Food Coops
I’ve wanted to know where all the food coops are in the United States for some time so I made a map, shown here at left. To do this I screenscaped the addresses for all the food coops in the Cooperative Grocer Directory and then used the functionality at geocoder.us to change the addresses into latitudes and longitudes which I could then plot on a map. This is still a draft map: my first pass at geocoding only got about 80% of the food coops located (about 220 of them). Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Vermont win the prize for the most cooperative states.
