ABOUT US

       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, the Calvin Paige building (formerly the Mixter store) located on the Hardwick town common was used as the co-op store.  Today the Calvin Paige building remains a community building which is used by various community groups, including 4-H clubs and boy scouts.  The co-op moved to its current location on route 32 (Lower Road) in 1974.  The current facility is a large 7-acre facility including 3 warehouses and a large retail store.

With its agricultural roots, 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.  However, 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.  All animal hobbyists, from horses to llamas and alpacas will find everything they need at the co-op.  All the feed and supplies needed for almost any household pet can be found in the co-ops large pet department.  The lawn & garden and nursery departments have grown to hold a reputation for excellence in quality and quantity of products offered.

      Perhaps what makes the co-op the unique treasure that it is today is its people.  The co-op has a full and part-time staff of about 20 customer-focused people ready to help you.  With an array of knowledge, expertise and personal experience on which to draw upon, the co-op staff is always ready to answer questions and offer advice.

Hardwick Farmers' is a co-operative in which farmers and other members of the community are shareholders...
	Originally, shareholders were actually issued stock certificates like this one.
