Sun
Produce Cooperative (SPC) is a multi-stakeholder agricultural and marketing
organization that includes agricultural producers, distributors, buyers and
market specialists.
Its mission is to create viable alternative distribution streams for Arizona’s smaller-scale producers, reduce barriers to market entry, gain economies of scale through its aggregate size, and leverage cooperative branding and marketing and supply purchasing efforts. The co-op model supports its members to combine product volume and variety as well as resources and expertise in order to expand reach into new markets. SPC connects increased consumption of local food for better over-all individual and community health to farm viability and economic development.
The Co-op coordinates farmer-member production, aggregation, and distribution to increase sales of locally produced fruits and vegetables while expanding access to healthy in-season foods.
Offering more than 200 locally produced and value-added food items the Co-op solicits orders weekly for products from more than 50 active customers, including wholesale and retail outlets, and community-based non-profits, then picks up the produce and other value-added products that have been ordered, such as honey, frozen processed poultry, cheese, bread and pastries, dried herbs and spices and eggs, sorts them into orders and then distributes the orders to customers
