Becoming an Owner

By becoming a co-op owner, you will play an integral role building momentum in the community, with the eventual aim of opening a store-front that offers food grown and produced by your neighbors to Silverton. On the way, we're offering regular events to bring local and organic products to you at wholesale prices.

Buying a share is easy! It’s a one-time investment of $150. We also offer a monthly payment plan if that is a better fit for you. We want ownership to be accessible to anyone who wants to become an owner.
