About Hardwick Farmers Co-operative Exchange, Inc.

CO-OP HISTORY

The Hardwick Farmers' Co-operative Exchange was founded in 1914 by a small group of local farmers who wanted to increase their buying power.

Originally,in the Calvin Paige building located on the Hardwick town common the Co-op grew in membership and product line as the years went by.

The Co-op moved to its current location on Route 32 (Lower Road) in 1974.

TODAY'S CO-OP

The current facility is a large 7-acre parcel, which includes three warehouses and a large retail store. While the changing demographics of the area have made the Co-op change with the times and expand its product lines to the diverse offerings it has today, the Hardwick Farmers Co-Operative Exchange remains firmly committed to meeting the needs of area farmers in terms of feed, supplies and other support programs.

All animal hobbyists, from horses to llamas and alpacas will find everything they need at the Co-op. Feed and supplies needed for almost any household pet can also be found in the co-op's large pet department. The lawn & garden and nursery departments have grown in reputation for both excellence in quality and quantity of products offered.
