Splitting Shares

Members are welcome to split shares with other families by noting this on the membership form. However, it is your responsibility to find a share partner.  Important: If you are the primary share contact then it is your responsibility to make sure that all fees are paid in a timely manner.


It’s not necessary to “split” with a spouse; this option is just for separate families, who are assuming the fees independently.


You do not have to come to distribution together if you split a Full Share, but if you’re new to the CSA we recommend you try to come together the first week.


Please Note: Splitting a Half or EOW share is NOT advised if you want to come to the CSA every applicable week, rather than alternating weeks. If you choose to split the share every applicable week then you are required to show up together every time.
