Become an Owner


Important Information About Ownership:

  • A share purchase is a one-time only purchase ($100 per share / two share minimum or $200 minimum investment)
  • Once you're an owner you are an owner for life - with no additional costs for those shares
  • An owner may purchase up to 10 shares in total ($1000 investment) - but an owner with 2 shares has NO LESS say in the conducting of co-op business than the person owning 10 shares. Additional money invested in the cooperative only shows how much faith you have in a sustainable future for our planet and eating health, local food, and keeping as many dollars as we can circulating in McHenry County rather than filling the pockets of the executives at Kroger or other large-conglomerate grocery chains
