So, you're interested in starting a co-op of your own?  Casa has at least 25 years of experience, and we are happy to help you learn.  You are welcome to peruse through our articles on this website, to look at our by-laws and ground rules of cooperation and such, but it would somewhat diminish the 'personal feel' of learning about a worker owned small business.

All that good info is nice, but talking to a few members and associates about how it all works together is another thing - it helps a novice understand the synergy of the parts.  We welcome you to join us for some meetings, some Q&A sessions, and whatever else you need.  Please email us at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it to set up some time with us!

If you're not ready to sit down with our group, however, we offer a number of resources for you to peruse otherwise.  If you are interested in getting copies of the following resources, please email us at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
