RI 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 PA database was donated by: Farm Credit Northeast AgEnhancement. The data was initially compiled by Cooperative Economics Alliance of NYC (CEANYC) based on census work done by KDC Cooperative Solutions and Solidarity Economy researcher Craig Borowiak.
