BOARD OF DIRECTORS
One of my favorite things about the Common Market Co-op is our commitment to buying local, sustainable, and responsible products.
Did you know that we purchase over 6000 skus from about 200 local vendors?

Did you know that we support 55 local farmers in our produce and meat departments?
Did you know that about 60 cents of every dollar spent on local goods stays in our community compared to big box retailers where only about 35 cents stay in the community?! Every time you shop at The Common Market food Coop, you are doing your part to support local businesses.
Did you know that we have classes? In the month of June alone, we had 19 classes. 11 of those were free. (Shameless plug for my free yoga class on Wednesday mornings).
• Did you know that as a MemberOwner you can reserve our Community Rooms at either store location for free? All you need to do is contact marketing@ commonmarket.coop. Be creative with how to use this benefit (language club, gardening club, spiritual get together, family reunion, children’s party). This benefit alone makes it worthwhile. But there is more…
Did you know that as a MemberOwner you can purchase your favorite items by the case and get a 12% discount? Visit the website for details: www.commonmarket.coop/ shop/special-order/
And my favorite; during Owner Appreciation Days. 3x per year (February, June and October) Member-Owners get a whopping 10% off of everything (yes everything) in their cart. Time to stock up on all your wellness needs, stuff the freezer, load up your shelves and fill up bags and bags of bulk items. I plan ahead, fill 2 carts, and really make the discount work for my budget!
Welcome to our XXX new MemberOwners who signed up during the June Owner Drive. If you missed it, not to worry, you can become a Member-Owner any day of the year – sign up in store or online and you’ll receive valuable coupons including one 10% off a full basket to get you started!
Please don’t forget that it's Board Election time! Make your voice heard. Be a part of the change. Run for office. Attend our Board Meetings. When was the last time you were invited to a Board Meeting at a big box retailer?
