Benefits of Membership

The market will exist.

There are many other benefits to being a member of Coteau Community Market, but the market is the whole reason we’re doing this. Everything else is just a bonus.

All memberships are nonrefundable and require financial investment from the member. Full membership rights are subject to being in good standing with the co-op, as defined in the co-op’s bylaws, and include the following additional benefits:

  • Potential patronage dividends
  • Vote on issues presented to the general membership
  • Vote for board of directors
  • Run for the board of directors
  • Participate in monthly/quarterly bulk orders
  • Participate in members-only sales
  • Ability to special order items
  • Monthly member newsletter
  • Shop by appointment

These rights are available immediately upon full investment in co-op membership as an individual or institution. Voting, board involvement, and patronage refunds are subject to additional requirements. Please read the full membership policy.
