HOW DNF CO-OP Works

YOU OWN IT!

Durango Natural Foods Co-op (DNF) is a member-owned grocery store that welcomes all shoppers. For a $20 annual donation, you too can become a member-owner with offers to special discounts, voting rights, and a share in our business. Being member-owned allows for profits to be re-invested in the store instead of being pocketed by a select few. Member ownership means our focus is not profit, rather, we focus on proving sustainable / healthy foods, employee wellbeing, community enrichment, and other critical needs.

LET'S TALK EQUITY!

"It's what keeps the equipment and lights on around here,

literally and metaphorically."

Starting with, what the heck is it?

Equity is the original crowdfunding. It’s an investment in our Co-op — The money we use to upgrade our grocery store + keep our facility up-to-date to serve our community.

And honestly, why does it matter to me?

Because you and your community members created this place. You help keep our equipment and lights on, literally and metaphorically.

You are one of the engines that make our store run, truly – you’re a part owner of our grocery store!

Here's how it works.

At $20/year you become a member owner. You are now a part of the coolest community in town, if you ask us. Your special powers now include: Taking advantage of member sales, gaining access to secret purchasing powers, and participating in our Co-op’s democracy – your voice matters to us + in our building.

Plus, you become a part of our community supporting more than 50 local and small businesses from Durango, Colorado, and beyond.

The Board of Directors

The Durango Natural Foods Board of Directors is elected by the owners from amongst themselves. Each board member brings a variety of professional and personal interests and experiences to the group, forging a Board of Directors committed to fulfilling DNF’s mission, maintaining its quality and financial stability, and providing strategic planning for its future.
