March Member Drive!
Linden Hills Co-op has continued to grow since we opened our doors in 1976. We are a community of neighbors, local farmers and vendors and friends. For the past 40 years, we have remained committed to providing nutritious, local and organic foods and to supporting healthy lifestyles in ways that benefit our community and our environment.
Linden Hills Co-op is growing a healthy community!
1976 160 members
1994 1,100 members
2010 5,200 members
2016 8,800 members
During March, as we celebrate our 40th Anniversary, we are inviting more people in to our community! Becoming a member at the co-op directly benefits not only the members themselves, but also the co-op and the greater community. Read more about member and community benefits below.
Throughout the month, we're planning a lot of exciting events and member sales to celebrate our birthday, making it a great time to join. The co-op aims to gain 100 members during March! Watch the carrot tracker as we work to reach our goal! We're looking forward to celebrating with you!
Throughout the month, every new member who joins our community will receive a 40th Anniversary Linden Hills Co-op cotton shopping bag (pictured below). These bags will also be on sale for $10.99.

Patronage Refunds
In years when the co-op achieves our profit goals and the board decides to declare a patronage rebate, members may receive a share of the profits. Rebate amounts are based on the amount each member spends at the co-op during the fiscal year and are distributed equitably to all active members.
A Voice and a Vote in How Your Co-op is Run
Offer us feedback, vote in Board elections, attend co-op meetings, or run for a seat on the Board.
Community Benefits

Our buyers choose local products whenever they are available; 30% of all the food we sell is from local sources.
A Higher Standard of Doing Business
