Your co-op

One share, one vote.

Every household co-owns the AUM Community Co-op that runs the shared spaces, and helps decide how the Community Fund is spent. How the co-op works

Selling what you make

Your work, your price.

Selling what you make is your choice

You decide what to produce and what to charge. The co-op can help you sell to our partner farms and grocers, and using that help is your choice.
