Black River Co-operative

Written By Guest User

Black River Co-operative is a worker co-op made up of five local, land-based businesses working and living regeneratively in near Timmins, Ontario. They are northern farmers and foragers, builders and planners on the front line of climate and social action. Their work aims to improve the health and wellness of our community through nutrient dense naturally grown foods, ethically harvested products, community access to land and environmental responsibility.
