About Us

The Food Marketing Cooperative of Pennsylvania (Cooperative) is a non-profit corporation initiated by the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture (PDA). The concept is simple and straightforward, small and medium size food manufacturers pool resources to take advantage of economies of scale, to achieve common goals, to grow their businesses. By pooling resources, members overcome limitations such as insufficient time to devote to marketing, insufficient knowledge & experience or insufficient funding. The Cooperative's quarterly membership meetings provide valuable educational and networking opportunities.

The following public and private sector organizations serve on the Cooperative's Advisory Committee and contribute resources to help assure its success:

The Cooperative membership consists of well-established manufacturers as well as those who are relatively new. Its members' products represent a broad cross-section of frozen, refrigerated and shelf-stable food and beverage products.
