Employment
​The Chatham Real Food Market Co-op is a community-owned grocery store, meaning consumers and workers have a financial investment in the business and work together to guarantee its success. The Co-op’s mission is to provide a place for our local farms and kitchens to sell their goods, educate our community about Columbia County agriculture, and promote a more localized food system where the food and profits generated are invested back into our community.
Cooperation
The Co-op is a cooperative work environment and often times tasks are shared among varying positions. A level of flexibility, communication, and understanding are required to maintain a healthy and enjoyable work environment.
Community
The Co-op is a gathering place for people, ideas, and products. We strive to offer a positive environment where all are welcome to share in the local products and services that our community has to offer.
Ownership
Employees can become member-owners by purchasing equity in the business. The investment is $100 and
can be paid in installments. For a description of what it means to be a member please see our page on Member-Ownership.
Customer Service
We strive to offer excellent customer service to whoever walks through the door and expect our employees
to maintain this by creating a friendly, positive, and helpful atmosphere for our customers.
