Enjoy a Social

Just about every month we have a social event to talk food, taste food, and meet others interested in bringing our cooperative to life. We're currently getting together at local coffee shops around the area once a month - join us at our next stop in our 2010 Coffee Shop Hop!

Participate

We're reaching out to the community through (meetings, tabling, house parties, etc.) to explain our plan and to discuss what it will take to open our store. Read about these issues on this site, post comments to help us refine possible options then please reach back so that we can hear your voice in person.

Invest

For the price of a few bags of groceries ($300), you vote for a better connection to the sources of your food. You support a local business. You join a fun group that’s making a difference in our community.

Read more at our Frequently Asked Questions page and our business plan (a 7.7M pdf file).

Then please download the membership agreement, fill it out and mail it in with your check!

Attend a Meeting

If you have the time and skills, then please take on a task. The first step is to attend one of our meetings. Office Hours are held on most Friday nights. Team meetings are held on various days throughout the month. Board meetings are held on the first Thursday of every month. Watch for meeting announcements for details.
