Early Member Benefit
tomatoes
When you make your full $200 investment in FCCM you can receive the corporate rate at Sourdough Fuel. This discount is for auto fill customers only.


TWO WAYS TO SAVE
Are you a student or otherwise feeling the crunch this year?

 If so FCCM has a payment plan. Members can pay only $25 each quarter over two years or $50 each quarter over one year.

When the store opens you will enjoy most of the benefits of full membership as long as your payments are current.


Voting privileges and the corporate rate
for fuel at Sourdough Fuel are reserved for fully paid members.

Greetings!

Thank you to Grassroots Guitar, Holm Town Nursery and Gulliver's Books for becoming "Partner's in Business" with us. It is cooperation like this that makes our community such a good place to live.

Thanks also go to Christopher Friar and Julie Baecker and many others for answering our call to help on our business plan. We are making some progress on the business plan and should have something to announce soon!

Last and not least thanks go to  Bachner Companies.
Their generous contribution of office space has made our membership drive possible.

As a cooperative food market
we can continue to build relationships with other businesses to enrich our community and see more of the money spent in our community stay in our community.
These partnerships are one step toward building a more sustainable and self-sufficient future for Fairbanks.
