Sunderland Co-operative Inc. has expanded to a 12.8 acre property just outside of Peterborough, the site of a former auto wrecking yard, the first phase of what the co-op says is a multi-phase expansion.

The new 8,000 sq. ft. structure features a diverse and comprehensive retail farm supply store and a large-capacity feed warehouse operation.

โ€œOur strategy is to build the site into a multifaceted facility that will provide expertise along with quality products and services in all our core businesses of agronomy, energy, grain marketing, and feed and retail farm supply,โ€ co-op president Urs Kressibucher said in a statement.

โ€œThe Sunderland Co-operative board of directors has a clear vision for the future of this site that will continue to be developed as opportunities arise,โ€ says Kressibucher. โ€œWe want to be able to provide The Whole Farm Plan experience to area farmers by delivering everything they need from seed to harvest to run a successful, prosperous and sustainable operation.โ€

โ€œThis move will help us grow our business and give our Peterborough area members and customers an improved product and services experience,โ€ says Sunderland Co-operative general manager Jake Vancuren.

The co-operative, established in 1950, is owned by 1,800 farmers and provides its members and the rural residents in Durham/York Regions and the county of Victoria products and services in agronomy, feed, energy, grain marketing, and consumer needs.
