Business and Legal


Business and Legal

Massachusetts Local Food Cooperative is a cooperative corporation. As such, we adopted a business model by which all members have equal ownership of the cooperative and are required to participate in the long-term management and operation of it.

Because of this business model, and because we currently rely entirely on volunteers for our operation, most people assume we are a nonprofit organization. By virtue of being a cooperative, however, we are considered a for-profit business by the state of Massachusetts.

For more information, feel free to peruse our Bylaws. If you would like to see our Articles of Incorporation, simply send your request to Kelley O’Connor.
