Co-op Ownership
New benefit: all our owners now enjoy an additional 10% off Co+op Deals daily, adding up to some unbeatable prices. As we welcome this fantastic perk, we’ll be saying goodbye to the 5% off on the 5th and those surprise 10% days. But don’t worry, your 20% discount on special orders remains untouched, and you’ll continue to snag 10% off on local goodies in our Health & Body Care department.
Join over 4000 other owners who are committed to improving access to healthy, local foods & creating a more just, equitable food system.
Joining the co-op involves completing an application and making a payment toward the $250 equity share. This payment can be made in yearly installments of $25 over ten years, or $12.50 over twenty years. After that an owner is fully vested in the co-op and no more yearly payments are required. Your equity payment is used to help keep the co-op viable (update equipment, make improvements, fix things, etc). If the co-op makes a profit during the business year, that profit is shared by the owners through a patronage rebate payment determined by the Board of Directors.
An owner/ownership can be an individual or a group of individuals that share a kitchen. Each ownership will have a primary name attached to the account and each ownership is allowed one vote in Board elections and bylaw updates. Individuals who want to serve on the Board must be listed as the primary name on the ownership. (An ownership account can have multiple names attached to it.)
It may take up to 3 business days to process your Ownership.
