Info

Quite simply, a Co-op is an organization owned by and operated for the benefit of those who use its services. Members of a cooperative support it with their patronage, participate in decision-making, and share in the profits generated by the organization's activities. Cooperatives are based on the values of self-help, self-responsibility, democracy, equality, equity, and solidarity. In the tradition of their founders, cooperative members believe in the ethical values of honesty, openness, social responsibility, and caring for others.
