Enjoy a Social

We regularly have some kind of social event to talk food, taste food, and meet others interested in bringing our cooperative to life. Often times meeting at local coffee shops and taverns around the area - join us at our next stop in our "2012 Coffee Shop Hop" tour or join us at our informal "Office Hours". Announcements for these go out to everyone registered on our site.

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. If you'd like to volunteer to help table, add your name to our sign-up sheet

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 at least one evening each month (check the calendar above for location). Team meetings are held on various days throughout the month. Board meetings are held on the first Saturday of every month. Watch for meeting announcements for details.
