Member Benefits

Membership is a one-time purchase of equity shares, not an annual fee. And your equity dollars are refundable upon request. Your shares contribute towards the capital we need to run the business and make improvements for you. Members receive other benefits, too!

• Discount coupons six times a year, good for $5 off a $50 purchase at both the co-op and Linden Hills Natural Home. Total value: up to $60 per year.

• Member specials change monthly; look for the member specials signs on the shelves.

• The Community Partners Program offers special discounts and perks at area businesses.

• Discounted class fees at Linden Hills and other co-ops.

• Two newsletters mailed to your home: the Rollin’ Oats Journal and The Mix.

• Free weekly specials emailer and periodic Action Alerts.

• 10% discount on preordered cases of products.

• Voting privileges in co-op elections, choosing members of the board of directors and deciding on important issues.

Not to mention the satisfaction of owning a vital community cooperative business! Local ownership keeps more resources in our community. For every $100 you spend at a locally-owned independent business, as much as $45 stays right here (as opposed to only $13 of the same $100 spent in a chain store).
