Learn more about how Co-Op works and our mission to build stronger, more equitable local food systems
(Built by a tiny team with big dreams π±)
We keep it simple and fair:
π§βπΎ Producers set their own prices.
πͺ Co-Op takes just 5% of the gross sale to cover basic operational costs.
π° Producers keep 95% of what they earn.
Most other platforms take 20β30% (sometimes more), leaving small farmers and makers with less than they deserve. At Co-Op, we believe the people doing the hard work should see the reward, not watch it disappear in platform fees.
π‘ Real talk: That 5% barely covers our costs (payment processing, hosting, support). We're running lean because we believe in the mission more than profits.
