Shopping at the Co-op
Most items in the store are marked with one price. The price is for non-members. Non-working members get a 2% discount.  Working members get a 10% discount.
Please serve yourself whenever possible. There are scoops and bags throughout the store for bulk items.  It helps if you put prices on bulk items when bagging them.

We believe this is healthier for you, and the earth.

Our Process:
Anyone may shop here without becoming a member. Members of the co-op own the store and share the responsibility for managing it along with the paid staff. Working members become involved by working directly in the store assisting one of the staff in their daily work, working outside the store on a co-op related project, or joining the board of directors to help in the long-range direction of the co-op.
