Since 2010, CHFC has been a true co-op, which means if you join it, you own it! Owners can join for as little as a $25 initial payment, and $5/month until fully vested at $150. It is a one-time fee to buy-into the co-op. Owner benefits include monthly owner appreciation days discounts, patronage dividends when the store makes a profit, and the ability to help support your local foods community.
