Our Concept
Fertile Ground Food Cooperative (FGFC) is a SE Raleigh-based multi-stakeholder cooperative that highlights the community’s entrepreneurial spirit, helps create pathways to living-wage jobs, increases access to healthy/affordable food, and fosters collective ownership.
Membership Means Ownership
Membership dollars are needed to develop the cooperative. A $100 founding member investment purchases one share of common stock in Fertile Ground Food Cooperative and provides members with the following benefits: joining a movement to create a local business in SE Raleigh dedicated to providing access to healthy food; the right to vote in elections and run for a seat on the board of directors; and financial benefits upon store opening such as: member specials, case lot discounts on special orders, possible patronage refunds during profitable years, and member-owner discounts on classes or workshops held at Fertile Ground Food Cooperative. Membership is subject to terms and conditions set forth in the Bylaws of Fertile Ground Food Cooperative, which are currently under consideration.
