This is a Co-op
This is a grass roots, all volunteer, no contracts, no catch co-operative. Therefore, you are expected to help. If you have limitations due to physical ability, childcare arrangements, etc., we understand.   However, without volunteers this co-op wouldn't happen.  There are many opportunities to participate!

How the Co-op works
As a group, we purchase items at deep discount or wholesale prices. Items are then distributed evenly among participants. Some details:
  • Use this website to make monetary contributions toward the pools used to purchase product(s)
  • Contribute the amount required for each item desired by the deadline(s) listed
  • Additional details specific to the item(s) purchased are sent via email
  • For produce baskets, we purchase from a warehouse that supplies produce to many local restaurants and grocery stores. This is the same produce you would get from a restaurant or store.
    • Basket contents:
      • We get a variety of high-quality seasonal produce.
      • We balance variety with seasonality in order to get the most appealing and cost-effective basket possible.
  • For natural beef, we purchase cows from a local rancher and get excellent quality beef for a fraction of comparable store price.
  • For dry goods, we purchase from wholesalers around the USA.  These same wholesalers supply many natural food markets in the Phoenix area and around the country.
  • There is a $1.50 fee for each order in total.  This is used to pay for the website as well as transaction processing charges.
Reasons to Join
  • This is a great deal and you are helping others get a great deal, too.  With the produce offering, you get approximately $50 worth of grocery store-quality produce.  
  • This co-op encourages a healthier lifestyle.
  • You meet great people!
Return Policy
There are absolutely no returns.
This is a co-op. As a group, we purchase a large quantity of items at deeply discounted or wholesale prices. These items are then distributed evenly among the contributing individuals. Because we purchase as a group, individual returns are not feasible. Also, no money is made by the co-op, so once contributions are spent on co-operatively bought goods, there is no money left over for reimbursement.  If you do not show up at pickup, this will constitute forfeiting your co-op share.  As a courtesy site managers generally leave forgotten produce on their porch until noon, and we provide directions to their homes so you can attempt to reunite with your abandoned basket. 

Weights & Measures
The co-op is volunteer-run and many items are divided up by volunteers.  The best effort is made to ensure accuracy, however all weights are not guaranteed accurate.
