Providing education on cooperative principles, personal health, environmental conservation and consumer issues;
Establishing beneficial relationships with the local community and the global cooperative movement.
What is Co-op
A cooperative is a special form of business owned and managed by the people who provide and/or use its goods and services. Resources are pooled to satisfy a common goal as economically and efficiently as possible.
- As a locally-owned business, a co-op is committed to the people and the community it serves. Member Owners have a voice in what is available for purchase, as well as in the overall organization of their particular co-op.
- Member Owners get the most buying power for their money, and the money stays in the community, contributing to its economic strength.
- At Sevananda Natural Foods Market Member Owners literally own the store, so membership benefits are much more than just the discount.
