The Cooperative Principles
Consumer co-ops trace their origins back to a small store in Rochdale, England over 150 years ago. Those co-op pioneers developed the original ideals for cooperatives. Today co-ops around the world, including ours, are guided by seven principles based on these original ideals. These principles help us remember who we are, what we are trying to do, and how we've agreed to do it.

• Voluntary and Open Membership
• Democratic Member Control
• Member Economic Participation
• Autonomy and Independence
• Education, Training and Information
• Cooperation Among Cooperatives
• Concern for Community
