The Co-op, founded in 1953, packaged and sold fresh and frozen berries. The Potato Board would purchase local produce, including blueberries, and acting as wholesalers, sell these goods to restaurants and grocers. Demand was limited, and growers often had extra fruit they were unable to sell. No common floor price existed, so prices were unstable and competition frequently created prices that were lower than capital input. The Co-op formed to increase grower profit and control.
