Go beyond your grocery list
As a Co-op member, you’re not just buying local food — you’re helping sustain it. Every choice you make supports the Gallatin Valley farms, growers, and producers who keep our community fed with real, healthy food.

Your dollars go farther here
Membership turns everyday shopping into an act of support. Together, we keep money circulating through the valley, strengthen local food systems, and invest in the health of our land and our neighbors.

Membership FAQs
Curious about membership or how the Co-op works? We’re happy to help.
Do I have to be a member to shop at the Co-op?
Membership is optional and open to anyone who wants a deeper connection to the store. Members are co-owners of a community-owned, democratically run business, with a voice in how the Co-op is governed and access to additional member benefits. Whether you’re a member or not, you’re always welcome to shop here.
How do I become a member?
You can sign up at the Co-op West Main location by talking to a cashier, or you can complete the membership form online.
What does it mean to be a Co-op member-owner?
Membership is collective ownership. Members share in the Co-op’s equity, help guide its direction, vote in annual board elections, and support a community-driven business.
How does Co-op membership differ from a traditional grocery store rewards program?
Unlike rewards programs, membership is real ownership. Members influence Co-op decisions, receive education and updates, enjoy exclusive deals, and help sustain a community-oriented food system.
What benefits come with Co-op membership?
Members receive owner-only specials, eligibility for patronage dividends (when issued), voting rights, the ability to run for the board, and the satisfaction of supporting a locally rooted cooperative business.
Can my family use my membership?
No. Memberships are individual. Benefits apply to the member only. However, children under 18 may use a parent or guardian’s membership.
Can I use my membership at both Bozeman Co-op locations?
Yes. Membership works at both the Co-op West Main and the Co-op Downtown locations.
Is my membership refundable or transferable?
Member equity is generally refundable if you choose to end your membership. Membership itself is not transferable.
What does my equity payment support?
Your equity helps fund Co-op projects, improvements. It strengthens a business owned and guided by the community it serves.
How do I update my membership information?
You can update your contact information or account details by speaking with Customer Service at either location. You can also email member services directly at [email protected]
Can I pay my member equity over time?
Yes. When you sign up for a co-op membership in store, you can choose to pay your member equity in installments rather than all at once. Our staff will walk you through the available payment options and help set up a schedule that works for you. Your membership benefits begin right away, even while you’re completing your equity payments.
