Articles of incorporation, bylaws, board of directors, collective, and annual member meeting minutes, correspondence, flyers, newspaper clippings, and financial records of a food cooperative in the Powderhorn Park neighborhood of Minneapolis, Minnesota. A small quantity of flyers and statements pertain to the "co-op wars" of 1975-1976, in which Powderhorn Food Community Co-op was involved.
