Brown Bag Co-op

Brown Bag Co-op (or BBC) is a dining co-op that premiered in 2003 or 2004. It is housed in Fairchild Hall (much like Fairchild Co-op). The reason that Brown Bag can co-exist in this space that already holds a co-op is that nobody actually eats at Brown Bag. The members elect purchasers who are responsible for buying food each week, and members then go to the co-op store (which is staffed by members) and use some kind of fake-money system to get food out. This way, each member of Brown Bag gets food bought according to whatever ethics and standards they've agreed upon, and they just go cook it themselves.

Brown Bag is the closest that most students can get to being completely off CDS.
