Sunderland Co-op kicks-off big expansion at new site in Peterborough region

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.

“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.”
