This is a celebration of all things co-op. Explore the power of cooperative business and putting people first. From food and housing, to banking and energy, and beyond- co-ops are for the community, by the community.

Did you know that co-ops come in all shapes and sizes? Co-ops are member-owned businesses covering everything from grocery and housing co-ops, credit unions, worker-owned cafes, to dairy, rural electric, and purchasing co-ops. Minnesota has more cooperatives than anywhere else in the country and this cooperative fabric contributes to our community’s strength and resiliency.
