Why Become a Member-Owner?

Healthy choices for you and the planet

Co-op membership is the first step to reducing your environmental footprint. Food production is a major contributor to climate change and organic, carbon-friendly diets are a healthy choice - for you and the planet. Co-op members look for organic, fair-trade, products offered by vendors who subscribe to sustainable methods. A co-op membership is transferrable to any member of your household enabling all members of your immediate family to contribute to a healthier planet. 

​

Take charge of your shopping experience

​Through volunteer and leadership opportunities, you have the chance to help make product, business and community decisions. All members are invited to our annual meeting and have a vote in the policies that guide our operations, including voting for our Board of Directors. Members with an interest to join our leadership may do so by running for a 3-year term on our Board of Directors.

​

Participate in our future

Co-op membership is focused on providing The Lakes Region with a sustainable, healthy shopping alternative. Members may participate in patronage dividends, a form of profit-sharing declared by the Board of Directors in a profitable fiscal year.
