COASTAL ORGANICS COOPERATIVE
SHARES POLICY

Co-op law has no limit to the number of members of the co-op, who are also shareholders and owners. While there are different legal forms a co-op may take, the only legal form appropriate for our small community limits the maximum share holding to $300.00. The current vision is to allow new members to pay a minimum of $50.00 annually, until they reach their full share value of $300, which will then be good for the lifetime of the coop. Because the coop is owned by the members and there is a need for financing, you are encouraged to buy your full membership ($300.00) as soon as you can.  Please download a membership application.
