The Masala co-op is dedicated to providing our residents with quality locally grown organic food whenever possible.

All house meals are vegetarian.

Community Events
The Masala Community tends to be a lively and creative bunch. The Masala Halloween Party has become a very well attended annual tradition thanks to mysterious Masala member “Kid Chaos,” who only reveals himself on very special ocassions. The past two years the party has included a live, outdoor theater performance including fire-spinning, music, and zombie-dancing.

“Masala allowed me to be rooted in Boulder in a way that is not normally possible for someone who cannot afford a house. It gave me a way to really be a citizen of Boulder and not just someone passing through a generic rental property. Perhaps the most valuable thing about Masala is the sense of connection and investment in the larger community, ranging from the eldery lady next door to the family farm where we buy our produce. I imagine how much the city would be enriched to have more places like Masala.”
