In 2002 National Farmers Union launched the world's first innovative portal to assist consumers to directly locate and buy quality food products, goods and services from farms, ranches, farm co-ops and rural businesses in the United States. Today, e-cooperatives-com (pronounced e-dash-cooperatives-dot-com) allows users to freely access an ever-growing database and search for products using keywords, categories and other criteria including locality and growing practices.
Many of the businesses have fully functional e-commerce sites while others have only web-sites and can be contacted by e-mail for more information. New sellers and product listings are being added to e-cooperatives on a regular basis.
Today, more than ever, how food gets produced, processed, transported and purchased remains vitally important to family farmers and ranchers who envisioned this site for promoting the local food and fiber they produce and market. E-cooperatives.com uses the Internet to take visitors to rural America, locate U.S. owned and controlled farm-based businesses and experience the quality foods they produce.
Let e-cooperatives help bring quality food and fiber from across our country right to you!
