It’s Co-op Month! Our member-owners shape Valley Natural Foods,  just as the National Cooperative Business Association says:

“Co-op’s represent a truly honest way to do business. With seven organizing principles that shape all co-ops, you’ll find cooperatives to be highly transparent organizations that value input from their member owners.

Co-ops proudly emphasize that people come before profits; as a member-owner your voice speaks louder than the bottom line. Co-ops don’t have to answer to shareholders; they care more about meeting their members’ needs.

When you’re part of a co-op, you know exactly what the co-op stands for. And exactly where the money goes. That’s what we mean when we say “Co-ops turn values into good business.” www.go.coop
