Our Co-op Principles

The 7 Co-op Principles we abide by, followed by our interpretations:
 

VOLUNTARY AND OPEN MEMBERSHIP

Everyone is welcome and anyone can join!
 

DEMOCRATIC MEMBER CONTROL

Majority rules, so get out there and VOTE.
 

MEMBER ECONOMIC PARTICIPATION

If you don't buy it, we won't sell it.
 

AUTONOMY AND INDEPENDENCE

We're owned by our members, not by The Man.
 

EDUCATION, TRAINING, AND INFORMATION

If you don't know, ask, or go to a Co-op class.
 

COOPERATION AMONG COOPERATIVES

We play well with others.
 

CONCERN FOR COMMUNITY

Together, we can make our little corner of the world better.
