Upstate NY Co-op Census: The Northeast Co-op Database was initiated by the farm families who own Cabot Creamery Co-operative in early 2015 with the Cooperative Development Institute. Additional funding to CDI for the development of the database for upstate NY was donated by: Farm Credit Northeast AgEnhancement and Park Slope Food Co-op. The data was initially compiled by Research | Action Cooperative with support from Krys Cail and Frank Cetera of the NY Cooperative Network.
