SW WA Growers cooperative

Supporting the Community that Supports Us

The Southwest Washington Growers Cooperative (SWGC) was formed in late 2019. The co-op is committed to working together to support agricultural development in Southwest Washington. The goal of the co-op is to help small and mid-sized farmers in Thurston, Lewis, Grays Harbor, Mason and Pierce counties use the power of cooperatives to improve our local food system. Simply put, SWGC helps farmers sell more food right here in Southwest Washington.

SWGC Has Two Pools:
