As a Co-operative created and governed by our farmer members, our primary mission is to support them with raising their livestock and growing their crops, and ensure that they have long-term outlets for their produce.
Pooling systems, logistics and even sales and marketing enables our farmer members to be more resilient in increasingly volatile and competitive markets.
Working through its national network of advisers and experts, our Co-operative provides its farmer members with a truly local service, backed up by effective technical and financial support.
It also makes a valuable contribution to bringing young people into the industry and facilitating generational succession through its Agriboost plan.
