Membership is Ownership at the Littleton Food Co-op!
When you become a Member of the Littleton Food Co-op, you also become an owner of the store!
On the surface, the Co-op may look like any other business, but our difference is right in our name. All co-ops, including the Littleton Food Co-op, are owned by their members (that’s YOU!). Membership at the Littleton Co-op isn’t just a sales promotion, rewards program, or marketing ploy (although we also love sales & rewards!). Being a member of the Littleton Co-op means you are one of over 11,000 people who want to commit to improving our communities, putting democracy first, and shaping the world we shop in. In exchange for membership, you get voting power in Board of Directors and Partner of the Month elections, exclusive discounts, first access to special events, and more! Our members also help the Co-op support numerous local food growers and producers, and support our work with area nonprofits to develop a healthy community.
Why Join? (all the deets)
Co-op membership is voluntary and open to all. The whole point of being a cooperative is putting the power in the hands of our community — and that includes you! Becoming a member-owner of the Littleton Food Co-op makes you a part of our mission to support our local community in every way possible. Each new member brings a new perspective to the co-op that has the potential to make it a better place to shop, work, and cooperate. Not only is the Co-op community-owned, we are an employer of over 100 community members, purchase goods from over 200 producers, and support dozens of other local organizations through donations, volunteer work, and partnerships. We will never waiver our commitment to the North Country.
You will never have to be a member-owner to shop at the Littleton Co-op, but we’d love to have you as part of our community, and offer you some perks along the way.

“I love this grocery store so much. They support local business and their customer service skills are superb. The staff make you feel like family. I am a member and am so glad I joined this community conscience establishment.” (Debra T., member since 2008)
“I remember getting stuff here for the first time and was reluctantly going to the counter to pay. When I heard the total I was bewildered because it cost waay less then another store on the other side of town. I now go to you guys and am very happy to be a member, too.” (Jillian H., member since 2023)

Upgrade Your Current Membership
We’re incredibly grateful for your decision to become a partial member of the Co-op, but we’d like to be able to offer you more great perks and discounts. Full members own four shares (equal to $100 in payment). While full membership does require more investment, it also comes with exclusive opportunities reserved for full co-op members, including participation in the annual Board Elections and voting power in the future of the Co-op. You can upgrade any time in store at any register or online. Note: if upgrading your membership online, please include your current membership number in the “note to seller” field so we can match the shares to the correct membership. Not sure how many shares you have? Simply ask your cashier or reach out to info@littletoncoop.com for assistance.
Update Your Information
We need your up to date information! The Littleton Co-op is not looking to spam your inbox, make prank phone calls, or send you junk mail. When we have your correct information on file it means we can send you important voting information for our upcoming election, tell you if you have a patronage refund waiting for you, or let you know you left a part of your purchase behind. We will never ever sell or share your information with third party advertisers – pinky promise.
Please e-mail Member Services if you have any changes to your contact information, or download and print this form and mail it in or bring it to the Service Desk.

The Neighboring Food Co-op Association (NFCA) is a co-operative federation bringing together 35 food co-ops and start-up initiatives throughout New England that are working together toward a shared vision of a thriving co-operative economy, rooted in a healthy, just and sustainable regional food system and a vibrant community of co-operative enterprise.
