How much is a Main Market member-owner investment? 


There are several levels of membership and participation.  We encourage socio-economic diversity and full representation of the community.

How can I learn more about Main Market Co-op?

There are many ways to get information about Main Market Co-op.  This web site is regularly updated with new information, and though our doors are not yet open, we offer various ways to get involved and stay in touch.  We host ‘In the Field’ tours to the very sources that will supply our shelves.  And, our active members receive an online e-Pollinator newsletter on a quarterly basis, sharing events, activities and updates on the store.

What does Main Market do with my membership investment?

Your membership makes a difference. This member capital helps us open the doors of the store. The more member capital we have, the less we have to borrow from banks, wasting resources on interest payments. Members utilize the services Main Market offers and the money stays in our community, benefiting local, sustainable agriculture and consumer cooperation. This is different from various conventional business models, where private investors intent on making a profit typically take those resources out of the community.

When do I start receiving member benefits? 


Members are currently receiving discounts on co-op events and receiving the e-Pollinator on-line newsletter, keeping them in “the know” on their store.

Is my membership refundable?

Yes, the equity portion of your investment is fully refundable if, at any time, you are unable to use or become dissatisfied with your membership.
