The Central Brooklyn Food Coop is currently in its organizing phase. We plan to open our cooperative grocery store soon.
We welcome you to join now by becoming an invested member! Adults 18 and over can become invested members of the coop. We currently have two investment options available:
- Our regular payment plan, for those not receiving income assistance, is $150 (a $125 investment fee plus a $25 non-refundable joining fee);
- We also have an option to pay the $150 in 6 monthly installments of $25
- Our reduced payment plan, for those receiving income assistance, is $20 (a $15 investment fee plus a $5 non-refundable joining fee).
- We also have deferred payment plans available for those experiencing financial hardship. Get in touch to learn more.
Fees are per person, not household. There is more detailed information about our payment plans available on our sign-up page.
After investing in CBFC, you will be required to activate your membership by attending a 1 hour orientation.
Get active in the CBFC
The next step will be to get active in the CBFC! As an invested member, you will contribute to key strategy decisions that will shape the CBFC experience. During our planning phase, we are asking invested members to either attend our monthly general membership meetings and/or join one of our three committees: Business Strategy, Outreach & Membership, or Safe Space. Learn more about our committees.
Key decisions about the CBFC are incubated in committees and then brought to general membership meetings for a vote. The best way to influence decisions in the organizing phase is to join a committee. After the doors open, invested members will be required to work 2-3 hours a month.
