Aspatria Farmers owned by Farmers and working for Farmers for over 150 years
Every day we have discussions with farmers, some who are members, about what Aspatria Farmers is, how it is structured and what it means to be a farmer member of a co-op like Aspatria Farmers. There are several key points that make our business different to all your other suppliers:-

You Own This Business
Well you do if you are a member. Even today it is only £100 to join Aspatria Farmers. In a public company , and some still have “Farmers” in their name, the business is owned by its shareholders, with the larger institutional shareholders calling the tune and driving the business to pay them big dividends or enhance the share price in order to give them a return on their investment. In our business, as a member, you own the business and each member has one vote! Today there are around 1000 farmer members who importantly are also the owners of Aspatria Farmers. Our Directors have the responsibility of representing our members and ensuring that the business delivers value to all our members. The business is run for the benefit of members and always will be. Come to our AGM or ask our Directors and staff about where the business is going and if you individually or a group of members would like us to explore other product areas or services, then please feel free to approach a member of staff.
