Benefits of Membership

Co-op Discounts

We have four discount tiers, with your discount based on your participation in the Co-op.

• Non-Working Member – members who do not volunteer get a basic 5% discount on all store purchases.
• Monthly Working Member – work 2 hours per month and you’ll get a 8% discount on all store purchases.
• Weekly Working Member – work 8 hours per month (average 2 per week) and you’ll get a 15% discount on all store purchases.
• Super Worker – work 24 scheduled hours in our store per month (average 6 per week) and you’ll get a 25% discount on all store purchases!

Household Memberships

To better serve our many Co-op families, we offer a special “household” membership.  With a household membership, one Co-op account is shared among two or three housemates.  All of these household members get the same discount, and any one of them can volunteer in the Co-op to increase the discount level for all. 

Most importantly, household membership costs less than multiple individual memberships would.  You can share the wealth with your housemates, and save money at the same time!

Please talk to our staff if you’re interested in learning more.
