Membership is countable access, priced in the open.
What it unlocks today, counted: four stores open, one opening · 22 listings at member prices · the member community · member gatherings in Ottawa and online · new store previews.
The door in. Shop every member store at member prices and join the community.

One rule for every tier: the member price on the shelf is the same for every member. Tiers buy access, priority, and depth, never a cheaper shelf price. The standard member price is set store by store, standard 10% under retail.
Founders’ Circle is capped at 300, with the founding price locked for life.
What belonging looks like
- Week 1: your stores and member prices unlock, and new store previews land
- Through the month: member offers from the four stores open and gatherings in Ottawa and online
- Each quarter: the Clean List, what was reviewed, what passed, what failed, and why
Give a year of it
Membership can be bought as a gift at any tier. The recipient gets the same counted access, from the day they join.
Why buy through Member & Maker?
| Member & Maker | Buying direct or on a general marketplace | |
|---|---|---|
| Review | Every product Clean-Reviewed against published criteria before it is listed | No shared standard; each listing stands or falls on its own claims |
| Price | Member prices in every store, one member price for all tiers | Retail price, store by store |
| The seller | Named owners, in the open. Sellers keep their whole sale, no seller fee | Sellers commonly pay commission and transaction fees on each sale |
| Belonging | Community, gatherings, events, and rooms, counted in your membership | A transaction, and nothing after it |
The questions that decide it
What does membership not include?
Products themselves. Membership unlocks member prices and access; what you buy from a store is bought from that store, at the member price shown.
Is The Mouth Code included?
No. It is a Greenacre Books pre-order at $39.99, expected January 2027. Members can read chapter one free before deciding.
Do sellers pay a fee on my purchase?
No seller fee, ever. A store keeps its whole sale; card processing is the only deduction.
Can I cancel?
Yes. Cancel before your renewal date and you will not be charged again. Your access runs to the end of the term you paid for.
Who is this not for?
Anyone shopping only for the lowest price. This is a curated, member-priced marketplace, not a discount warehouse.
Sell to members. Keep your whole sale.
