The statements above reflect Bluff Country Co-op’s mission. They were created as a way for us to better communicate with our customers the work that we strive to do every day. So how did we come up with these statements? The board, the staff and the management team spent hours discussing the seven cooperative principles, our ends statements, what we would ideally like to accomplish, and the reality of what we do every day. The resulting language puts into words the work that’s on our plate. Every day in everything we do, we work together to achieve these goals.
