WHAT IS A CO-OP?

A co-op is a cooperative, member-owned business.  The Oshkosh Food Co-op is a not-for-profit membership organization that connects local residents in the Fox Valley with healthy food choices.

A food co-op offers many products like any other grocery store, and is owned by the people who purchase member shares. Both members and non-members can shop at the Co-op. Because the Co-op is owned by the people who share your interests and values, the Co-op can source food locally and emphasize natural and organic food.

BENEFITS

When you join a food Co-op, you are investing in a community-owned grocery store.  You'll know that you are keeping your food dollars in the community. And, members may also earn a dividend, based on the financial performance of the co-op.  Additional benefits may include case and bulk discounts, workshop/event discounts and a complimentary subscription to our Co-op publications.

SUPPORTING THE CO-OP:

MEMBERSHIP

You can purchase a non-refundable one-time membership in the Co-op for $180. You may name one other person in your household to the account. You may pay this membership amount over 18 months at $11 per month.  With your membership, you receive the right to vote on official Co-op matters and attend our Annual Meeting, and have a say in the way the Co-op works.
