Cooperatives allow groups of people to accomplish more collectively than as individuals. This private business model is owned and controlled by the people who use its products, supplies, or services. Cooperatives vary in type and size, but all are formed to meet the objectives of their members.
UC’s Small Farm Program has a collection of online resources for those interested in learning more about cooperatives. Topics include:
- What is a Cooperative
- Starting a Cooperative
- Publications about Cooperative, most of which are available by free download. Some of the publications are available in Spanish.
