This week, Sunderland Co-operative opened the first phase
of a multi-expansion project at its new site in Otonabee, serving the farmers and
residents of Peterborough region and beyond.
The new 8,000 sq. ft. retail farm supply store and large-capacity
feed warehouse is the first chapter for this expansive 12.9-acre property.
During the ribbon cutting ceremony Otonabee-South Monaghan
mayor Joe Taylor "thanked the Co-op for having the confidence in our township to
locate here. I know that our residents and the residents of County of
Peterborough will support it for years to come,” said Taylor.

“We are undergoing a full feasibility study right now, but our strategy is to build the site into a multifaceted facility that will provide product and services in all our core businesses," says Urs Kressibucher, Sunderland Co-operative president. “We plan to offer a Whole Farm Plan experience to area farmers by delivering everything they need from seed to harvest to run a successful, prosperous and sustainable operation.”
"This move will help us grow our business," says Sunderland Co-operative general manager Jake Vancuren. "We are coming to our 70th year of business and with this vision for the region, we plan to be here for at least 70 more.”
