An ownership share belongs to the individual who signs the application. Only that person’s spouse, partner, children and other dependent household members may use the owner number when shopping. Only the signer may exercise the full rights of ownership. View a copy of our Shareholder Agreement and Bylaws.

• Provide your ownership card or number to your cashier on each shopping trip to earn patronage points. Patronage points are how the co-op tracks your participation within the co-op. Owners will receive patronage rebates proportional to the amount spent at the co-op during profitable fiscal years.

• Enjoy your benefits and stay informed of specials and sales by keeping the co-op updated with your contact information including address, phone and email.
