Voluntary & Open Membership: Everyone is welcome!

Democratic Member Control: No matter how much equity an Owner contributes, each Owner has only one vote, and therefore, equal say.

Member Economic Participation: You have to use your Co-op to get the benefits. Buy more, save more!

Autonomy & Independence: We may collaborate and cooperate with others, but we set our own policies, mission and effect we want to leave on our community.

Education, Training & Information: We love to help. Let us!

Cooperation Among Cooperatives: We offer help & ask for help from other cooperatives. We are all in this together to make this world a better place, starting in our community!

Concern For Community: Although a co-op needs to be profitable to remain in business, a co-op also exists to serve the community, not solely to make a profit for its shareholders.
