How Our Programs Work
All programs operate on cooperative principles: democratic participation, transparent governance, and shared success. Here's what you can expect.
Member-Led
Each pool has elected committees of farmers who guide program direction, pricing, and policy decisions.
Data-Informed
We use market data to guide planning, pricing, and distribution decisions that benefit all members.
Fair Returns
Transparent pricing ensures farmers receive equitable compensation for their products and labor.
Participate in Multiple Programs
Many of our members participate in more than one program. If you grow vegetables and raise livestock, you can join both the Produce Pool and the Livestock Pool. If you're exploring specialty crops alongside your produce operation, the Specialty Pool can help. Choose the combination that fits your operation.
