About Membership at the Upper Valley Food Co-op

How Can I Join?

Stop by the front registers and ask for a membership form.

Why Should I Join?

Becoming a member is a great way to get involved; it’s your co-op, too, and membership provides benefits to you as both a customer and a co-owner. You’ll be eligible for special discounts, and you’ll also be able to help shape the way the Co-op works and grows.

Co-op Policies: What am I supporting?

By nature, all co-ops share a fundamental respect for all human beings and a belief in their capacity to improve themselves economically and socially through mutual help. Co-ops provide education to their communities, and work for the sustainable development of these communities through policies accepted by their members.

Co-ops are based on the values of:

  • Self-help
  • Self-responsibility
  • Democracy
  • Equality
  • Equity
  • Solidarity

Cooperative members adhere to the ethical values of:

  • Honesty
  • Openness
  • Social responsibility
  • Caring for others

Co-op members join friends and neighbors in building:

  • A locally-owned and democratically-controlled economic institution that serves the needs of the community
  • A business that brings integrity into the marketplace
  • A company that is responsive and operates with the consumers’ interests at heart
  • A business far less likely to pull up stakes and leave in hard times
  • Community connections
