Why become a member of the Co-op?

Everyone is welcome to shop at the Big Spring Market. Most of our shoppers are members, however. Supporting a local business is important to them and us. Your low member fee is a one-time $35 purchase of an equity share of the Big Spring Market.

As a member, YOU and the other members own the store! The Big Spring Market isn't owned by any private individual or corporation.

The Big Spring Market is proud to count over 400 members as its owners. Our supporters are longtime community members, students, local farmers, ranchers, business owners, and people from next door!

As a member, you are also entitled to make special orders, vote in certain store decisions, and have an impact on the future direction of the market itself. When you are a member here, you are a member everywhere: all food cooperative members (whether at the Big Spring Market, The Good Earth Market in Billings, or anywhere else) receive the benefit of membership when shopping at any food cooperatives!

Working Members

As a member, you may become a working member. Our store is supported by working members!

Board of Directors
