We are committed to building an inclusive economy that gives everyone the opportunity to live a well-nourished life and removes any obstacles of becoming a member-owner! We offer low to no-cost shares through donations to our Solidarity Share Fund.

If you are self-identified limited income your member-ownership is a one-time payment of $25.

By becoming a Common Share Food Co-op member-owner you are joining our movement for food justice, an inclusive economy, and a community third space in the Amherst area! 

As a member-owner, you are an actual owner of the co-op and you can:

• receive certain discounts and can participate in members-only truckload sales
• get annual dividends in profitable years based on a percentage of how much you spend at the Co-op
• participate in all the democratic decision-making that goes up for a vote
• run for a seat on the Board of Directors
