Equity Investment
Membership at Weavers Way requires a minimum $30 equity investment
per year until you reach the cap of $400, at which time you no longer need to make investments.
The great thing about equity is that it's an investment in your Co-op, not a fee for membership -
you can always get back what you have invested if you choose to leave the Co-op.
Together We Grow
With our Together We Grow Equity Campaign, we are building equity in order to expand to Germantown
and you can help! If you add the full $400 investment to your equity account,
we will credit $100 to your EasyPay account for you to spend in the store.
The Together We Grow equity campaign requires that your equity remain invested in
the Co-op for at least 5 years. If you leave the Co-op and withdraw your equity before
the end of the 5 year period, $100 will be deducted
from your equity refund, leaving you with $300; that is your initial investment minus the
$100 promotion.
Invest $400 today and a $100 credit will be added to your EasyPay account tomorrow!
*$30 is the minimum annual investment. In order to reach the $400
equity cap sooner,
you are free to invest more. A fully invested member is no longer
required to make equity investments.
If you are a recipient of SNAP, TANF, WIC, Medicaid, SSI, SSDI, Military Disability
or General Assistance, you can join the Co-op for a reduced equity investment of $5 a year,
instead of $30, and receive a 15% discount on almost
all of your purchases. Learn more here.
As a cooperative enterprise, we depend upon member economic participation. Member equity is
critical to our success. It provides valuable business capital that is invested in all
aspects of our operations. Thank you for investing in your Co-op.

program! This means that the Co-op will "round up" each of your purchases to the
nearest dollar. Your valuable contributions will go directly towards our low income
discount program, Food For All, which provides a 15%
discount to Co-op members experiencing economic hardship and reduces their annual
equity investment from $30 to $5.

Beneficiary Information
In the event of the Primary Member's death, a household's equity will pass to the next adult in the household. If there are no other adults in the household, equity will pass to the designated beneficiary. While having a beneficiary is not required, it is recommended. If you choose, you may designate Food Moxie, our non-profit arm, as your household's beneficiary, by specifying "Food Moxie" in the Name of Beneficiary field below.
Payment
You can pay as little as $30 each year, or you can pay in larger installments. You can also pay the entire $400 now.
I understand that payment entitles me to weekly access to the you-pick section at the Henry Got Crops
site of Weavers Way Farm. I understand that I am sharing the risks that come with the growing season
(including weather, insects, crop diseases, etc.) with the other subscribers and the farmers.
I understand that the size and duration of my subscription is dependent on these variables. I understand that
my payment is non-refundable.
