Joining Cooperative Coffees
Cooperative Coffees typically accepts between one and three new members per year. The application process takes 3-6 months depending on the timing of our Membership Committee meetings, Board of Director meetings and the applicant's ability to provide information as needed. We take this process quite seriously and ask all applicants to think carefully about "going into business" with more than 20 coffee
roasters who could at any given time be considered both colleagues and potential competitors in the marketplace. The future of Cooperative Coffees depends upon our roaster/members' continued ability to set personal differences aside in the name of further developing our model importing cooperative and the resulting greater goal of increasing our equitable trade relationships with a growing number of producer partners.
