Becoming a consumer member

Do you share our vision of community abundance in healthy and local food, as well as in learning and social relationships.

If so, become a member and support our projects!

La Coopérative de solidarité Abondance Urbaine Solidaire (CAUS) is a social hub that facilitates Montrealers’ access to healthy and local food through urban agriculture, education and the circular economy, while strengthening human connections and sharing.

As a non-profit solidarity cooperative, our company is run democratically and jointly by different groups with common interests and goals. Join us to help determine the future of our movement.

All of our projects contribute to climate change mitigation, while providing multiple local benefits and strengthening the resilience of communities. We provide members and citizens with quality local products and services and help them grow their own food year-round. We invite members, citizens and organizations to reduce their waste.

CAUS is a non-profit solidarity cooperative with three types of members: consumer (1 share), local producer (50 shares), and worker (100 shares). Each share costs $10.

As a consumer member, you have the following rights:

  • Participation in the life of the Association (including the right to vote at meetings)
  • Eligibility for board elections
  • Discounts on items offered at farmers' markets
  • Renting our community hall for two hours per year at the producer member price

To join us, you simply need to pay the qualification fee and fill out this form.

Your membership helps us offer workshops, cultivate edible spaces in the city, cook emergency meals, and make fresh food more available to the community🥕.
