How to Join

 

Why have a membership with Garber Cooperative Association?

All business that occurs within the cooperative directly benefits its members. Cooperative members allow farmers and ranchers to come together as a unit and compete together in their local markets as well as globally. The union of these producers allow all of them to have more bargaining power, and anticipate the unpredictability of the commodity marketplace.

The members of the cooperative organization directly benefit from profits by the cooperative returning the profit in the form of patronage. Each member receives a different amount, as it depends on the members’ usage of the cooperative will determine how much patronage they receive. The patronage can be received in the form of cash or cooperative stock.
