One of the more important benefits of belonging to the Great Bay Food Co-op is that the members determine all of the policy decisions. Thus, we have decided as a coop to buy organically grown food when practical, to purchase from local growers and manufacturers, and to minimize our dependence on large corporate producers. In a society increasingly oriented toward mass production and mass marketing, often to the detriment of the interests of the consumer and our environment, coops are among the few institutions in which we can exercise some control in what we buy and how we buy it. In a coop, the voice of the membership truly counts. GBFC is open to members and non-menbers.
Membership is also open.
However, Co-op membership is open to all interested people in the community even though it is a UNH student organization. To find out more about joining co-op stop by and talk to the folks at the Membership table. Additional membership information is also available on our homepage. Joining Great Bay Good Cooperative not only gives you the opportunity to purchase quality food at discount prices but it also helps to support member-owned shopping. As a co-op member you will receive the lowest possible prices and you will be able to order directly from our distributors.
