A buying club is a group of people who pool their time, resources, and buying power to purchase high quality healthful foods at affordable wholesale prices. Members divide the work equally among themselves, trading their time for the lower prices.
Members also enjoy the camaraderie of working with other people in their community.
Members combine their individual orders into a single order. Usually, members pay in advance for their order so that the buying club has the money to pay Northeast Cooperatives at the time of delivery. This combined and collated order is sent to the warehouse by email, fax or phone. The Northeast Cooperatives truck delivers to your prearranged location. One to three buying club workers need to be on hand to unload and receive the order.
