History of Goshen Farmers Cooperative
Goshen Farmers Cooperative, Inc. was borne from a meeting on February 24, 1972. During the meeting it was agreed that there was a strong need for a farmer-owned farm supply cooperative, with the farmers participating in the profits of the operation.
The Goshen community showed its support through the purchase of $120,000 in debentures. The Co-op operated at its original location until 1999 when a new facility was constructed at 301 Greenville Avenue.
The new Co-op location opened in April 1999. We opened our new convenience store and fuel station in July 2000.
