Wilco has a history that dates all the way back to the 1930s. We still have nostalgic board meeting notes and co-op documents from Santiam Farmers Cooperative (Stayton, OR) from 1936. A little over 30 years later, in 1967, Santiam Coop voted with four other Willamette Valley cooperatives and merged together to form Wilco; short for Willamette Consolidated.
Today, Wilco is still a farmer-owned cooperative headquartered in the rural town of Mt. Angel, OR. Wilco focuses on a commitment to core values and community that come from our roots while striving to be a progressive company known for growth and innovation supplying today’s agricultural needs. Whether your agriculture interests are crops and ranching to support your family full-time, or you have a hobby and passion for the lifestyle, Wilco’s focus is clear; serve their customers with the products, services, and expertise they need.
Decade-after-decade Wilco continues to grow and change to meet these demands in an ever-changing agriculture industry. Wilco’s purpose to strengthen agriculture and rural lifestyles is done through their Energy Business, Retail Farm Stores and being an owner in the important Valley Agronomics joint venture.
