Operated: 1948 - ca. 1973

From Miller Report:


"Mount Horeb Farmers Co-operative Feed Mill in 1948, with a large addition dating from 1959 (Village of Mount Horeb Tax Rolls). The Farmers Co-op was formed in 1945. The Co-op's first activity was to merchandise farm supplies, which they did in the building at 102 East Lincoln Street (extant). This building was erected in 1948 for storing and grinding livestock feed."
   _______________________________________________________________________________________________________

The Mt. Horeb Farmers Co-operative purchased property on the west side of Mt. Horeb in 1973 where they eventually moved. The milling operation was moved to Hollendale and then to Mineral Point in 2009. The building has been converted into offices and an artist studio.

"Established in 1893 as Patrons’ Mercantile Cooperative, Black Earth, Premier is recognized as the oldest consumer and farm supply cooperative in the United States. In 2000 Patrons’ changed its name to Premier Cooperative when the Mt Horeb Farmer’s Cooperative merged with Patrons’."
