Co-op
A member-owned grocery store or food collective. Members pay a share and get access to bulk pricing, local produce, and community-driven food sourcing.
CSA (Community Supported Agriculture)
Subscribe to a local farm and receive a weekly or biweekly box of whatever's in season. You share the risk and reward of farming with the grower.
Buying Group
A group of people who pool orders from wholesale or farm suppliers to get better prices. No storefront — just neighbors coordinating bulk buys.
Farm Share
Buy a share of a farm's harvest for the season. Similar to a CSA but often with more flexibility in what you receive and when.
