Cooperatives
Overview
Cooperatives offer many social benefits and have the capacity to create a lot of mutual aid in local systems. Here is a list of a variety of different cooperatives in the South Willamette Valley. When making decisions for environmental and social wellbeing, cooperatives can become a great way to be engaged, have conversations, and build understanding and human well-being in community. These outcomes are not guaranteed, however, cooperatives could help build a regenerative system in the Willamette Valley.
