The Supernatural Co-Op is a cooperative
owned and controlled by its working members whose
purpose is to provide a source of natural food and
natural products to those living in the Gardiner
(central Maine) area. Guided by the needs of our
members, we conduct our business in a conscientious
manner with respect for our members, our community
and our environment. We acknowledge and value the
contribution of ideas and time by each individual
member and strive to create an atmosphere conducive
to participation in all phases of operation.
Whenever possible, for mutual benefit,
we support regionally-based suppliers and organic
agriculture.
As a paid member, you receive the full
privilege of voting and voicing your ideas about
running the co-op. You are encouraged to attend all
