You can peruse the Frontier Co-op online catalog here but know that the prices shown are retail. As part of the PPEC Frontier Buying Club, you will pay wholesale prices (about 50% less than retail). Once you sign up below as a member and pay the membership fee, you will be provided with a link to access the wholesale online catalog.

What is a Buying Club?

A buying club is a group of people comprised of individuals, families or organizations ordering collectively to receive wholesale prices. Members share opinions and learn about products from each other, while reducing packaging and carbon emissions through consolidated packing and shipping.  Together we will receive free shipping for our collective orders greater than $250.


How to become a member:
