Owners

Why become an Owner?

Wild Onion Market doesn’t have corporate sponsors, or powerful financial backers. We’ll remain independent because we’re literally owned by our community. The most impactful contribution that you can make is to join.

  • Your Ownership share is for your entire household and costs $250 for a lifetime Ownership.
  • You will be eligible to vote in the co-op’s Annual Election, where a Board of Directors is selected by Owners and other important matters are brought for a vote.
  • You’ll help to build a vibrant store, where you can make suggestions about what you want to see stocked.
  • In profitable years, the co-op can pay dividends to Owners. Before the store opens, you will have the opportunity to invest in a fundraising campaign to open our store.

We’re building this together – one Owner at a time. This is our moment, our chance to have a voice and a vote. We’re creating a store right here that’s for us and by us. We can own a piece of our community.
