Our cooperative
A cooperative built around Somerset farming
Cannington Grain Store opened during the harvest of 1977 as a farmer-members’ cooperative. Originally built with a storage capacity of 5,000 mT, the store has expanded significantly over the years and now holds 40,000 mT. Farmer members throughout Somerset deliver crops which are weighed, cleaned, dried, graded and marketed collectively.
