HOW THE FOOD CO-OP WORKS

The Co-op specializes in bringing its members fresh, local and organically grown foods and environmentally safe household items at the best affordable quality and price.

Ways in which co-operatives differ from retail stores...

  • CO-OPS HELP MEMBERS OBTAIN ACCESS TO PRODUCTS OF DESIRED QUALITY AT THE BEST POSSIBLE PRICE
  • CO-OPS KEEP MONEY, JOBS AND PROFITS IN THE LOCAL COMMUNITY
  • CO-OPS GIVE FULL DISCLOSURE OF PRODUCT QUALITIES AND VALUE
  • CO-OPS ARE TRUSTWORTHY BECAUSE THEY EXIST TO SERVE MEMBERS, NOT TO MAKE MONEY OFF OF THEM
  • CO-OPS PROMOTE EQUITY IN RELATIONSHIPS WITH FARMERS, PRODUCERS, STAFF, AND OWNERS
  • CO-OPS PROVIDE A SENSE OF BELONGING AND COMMUNITY
  • CO-OPS PROVIDE MORE INDIVIDUALIZED AND SPECIALIZED SERVICES

Orientation
Once the doors of the co-op open, we will have a member-owner orientation. You will be issued a membership card, and receive information regarding hours of operation, services, and products.

Shopping at the Co-op
We want to make your experience at the Harlem Natural Food Co-op as pleasant as possible. You will find our shelves well stocked, and our staff knowledgeable, courteous and committed to providing you the best service.
