Who Should Join?


Anyone interested in:
• Fresh nutritious foods
• Foods for special dietary needs
• Saving money on food purchases
• Convenience of a small, friendly store
• A co-op providing most of your food shopping needs and more!

Why Should I Join When I Don't Have To Pay To Shop At A Normal Grocery Store?


Actually, you DO pay. Supermarkets generally have a higher mark-up and larger overhead than co-ops.

How Do I Join?


Sign up and pay for your owner/member certificate then receive a brief and informative orientation, including a tour.


How Much Does My Owner/Member Certificate Cost?


A new one year owner/member certificate at the Co-op is $50. (seniors and full-time students $25). Renewal fees for owners/members are $36 (seniors and full-time students $18) per year. Anyone can join. Owner/Member capital goes directly into the store, meaning that all equipment in our store was purchased by our owners/members. This allows us to make improvements to our store (to serve you better!) without having to raise prices on goods.

  
  What Are My Requirements As An   Owner/Member?


  • Support our Co-op by shopping regularly (minimum $70 per month)
  • Volunteer to work a minimum of two hours per month or pay $10 per month.
    (Work requirement is optional for seniors 65 and older, however if you can please do.)
  • Tell others about us.
  •Additionally, you can attend monthly board meetings or even become a board member     to help increase the success of the co-op.
