Why become an equity share owner-member?

The economic benefits:

• Owners will have the opportunity to earn patronage rebates and enjoy special member discounts (equaling a 25-50% annual return on your $200 investment).
• Owners will receive discounted pricing on full cases or bag purchases, and will be able to make special orders, obtain cash at checkout, and other benefits.

The business you own and can help govern:

• Owners can serve on the Board and committees.
• Owners also have a say in major votes at the annual members meeting.

The community you can serve:

• Owners will be supporting local farmers and revitalizing local agricultural infrastructure.
• Owners will have the satisfaction of being part of the downtown rebirth.
• Owners will have the satisfaction of being part of the movement to bring a full-service grocery store with healthy foods and products to our area, providing healthier food for our children, more sources of local sales for our farmers, and a center of community involvement around healthy food and lifestyle.
• Owners will have the opportunity to become investors in the co-op through a member loan drive to raise additional capital.

NOTE: These benefits have not been established yet by official vote of the Board of Directors. After hiring a general manager, and establishing operational policies, the specific benefits will be legally established.
