A co-op is a community owned and democratically governed enterprise that operates for the benefit of its member-owners. See What is a Co-op for more information.

There are many benefits to becoming a member-owner! You are directly investing in a business that supports the local food economy and gives back to the community in so many ways. You get a vote in how the co-op runs. For most co-ops, member-owners receive regular discounts in the store, and in profitable years, get a dividend.

The member-owners of Wasatch Food Co-op enjoy the following benefits:

• quarterly member-owner appreciation months in February, May, September and December: 10% off one total order

• member-owner monthly specials

• rebate dividends once the co-op becomes profitable

• savings on events

• 10% off on all special orders (case size orders)

On average, about $0.60 of every dollar spent in a co-op goes back to the local economy. We are committed to strengthening Utah’s food economy by helping to build and sustain the local food systems and infrastructure. We will accomplish this by making it a priority to buy local products, pay fair prices to growers and producers, and provide living wages to our store employees. Additionally, co-ops act as incubators for other new local businesses, further strengthening the local economy.

The cost of a Class A ownership share is $300. This is a one-time fee for a lifetime membership, giving you a voice in the Co-op. A payment plan is available at $25 per month. You can purchase a membership the next time you're at the store!

Nothing more than your monetary investment is required to be a member-owner! There are, and will continue to be, volunteer opportunities through which you can help, and we always love your participation in our events.

The general public is welcome to shop at the store, but we hope that you share in our vision and decide to invest.

Everyone living in the same household can make purchases on their family member’s account. We hope there’s incentive for each adult to purchase their own ownership.

A CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) is a farm or farm-supplied business that regularly delivers food to members on a subscription basis. The Co-op works more like a conventional grocery store, although we may be supplied by local farms that also operate as CSAs.
