The Durham Farmer’s County Co-op is celebrating it’s 75th anniversary this month, and it is fair to say that it might be an institution in our community. From humble beginnings in 1947, the Co-op has endured, thrived and expanded through the years. It continues to serve farmers and the local community from three locations across Durham – locally in Orono, as well as in Blackstock and Grafton. The long history of the Co-op has been well-documented in the Orono Times and in honour of their anniversary, we are opening the archives to share some of their highlights from past years.
