A Cooperative Built on Community
For more than a century, Centra Sota Cooperative has proudly served the farmers, families, businesses, and communities of Central Minnesota. As a member-owned cooperative, we’re committed to delivering trusted products, expert guidance, and exceptional service while investing in the people and places we call home.
Our Cooperative Legacy
The Centra Sota story began in 1877, when local farmers joined forces to market milk and butter through a grassroots community creamery. In 1922, the Producers Co-op Creamery was officially formed, becoming one of the first cooperatives to produce the iconic Land O’Lakes® Sweet Cream Butter.
Today, we continue to build on that legacy by providing innovative products, reliable services, and knowledgeable support that help strengthen our communities.
