About Vriesland Growers Cooperative 

​

• Vriesland Growers Cooperative, Inc. is a grower owned supply co-op that has been in business since 1935. 

• We were originally established by a small group of vegetable farmers near Hudsonville, MI. who banded together for purchasing power to buy coal and fertilizer.

• Vriesland Growers is unique in that it originally was run as a self-serve business where members loaded themselves and wrote out their own invoices. 

• This format continued into the 1980's when growth of the cooperative made it necessary to have full time employees. 

• We have now grown to include a diverse group of growers who raise vegetables, row crops, blueberries, nursery crops and a variety of greenhouse crops. 

• We pride ourselves on being competitively priced, while at the same time providing a high level of customer service and adequate inventory to handle our members needs. 

• In addition to competitive pricing, each member receives a share of our profits as a patronage dividend that reflects their previous year's purchases. 

 

 

 

Efficiency and low overhead has been the formula for our success for over 75 years. 

 

We hope to continue with this time proven formula for the next 75 years and hope you will be a part of it!
