Become a Member

Everyone is welcome to join the Food Co-op. By joining the Co-op, you enjoy the benefit of member pricing on all purchases in the store. You are welcome to shop at the Co-op without becoming a member, but you will be charged a 6.5 percent surcharge on your purchases. Members are also eligible to place special orders at a discount, receive a free monthly newsletter, vote in elections, and serve on the Board of Directors or on committees.

Member Shares: $90

When you join, you invest ownership shares in the Co-op and purchase a part of the store. You can pay for member shares in full, or pay in monthly or quarterly increments with a minimum of $3 per month. Share investments make it possible for the Co-op to purchase new equipment, to publish the monthly newsletter, and to purchase other capital improvements needed to better serve our members. The member shares are your investment in your co-op and are considered your property. Member shares are fully refundable.

Member Dues: $4 per year

Each member pays non-refundable annual dues of $4, which is used for supplies, new equipment, and to fund events such as the annual membership meeting.

How to Join

You can activate your membership anytime with a simple membership form at any check stand or by stopping by the service desk. A member can also obtain an additional membership card for another member of his or her household.

To Change your Address

If you change your address, please notify the Co-op! It's easy, but we have to have the member's signature to make the change. Just drop by the Service Desk or drop a postcard in the mail with your name, old address, new address, and your signature. It's helpful to include your member number, but not essential to make the change. Your signature, however, is essential!
