Co-operative Movement & Structure
After experiencing a period of economic struggle, Ireland saw the dairy co-operative movement come into effect in the early to mid 1900s. Following this, a number of local creameries amalgamated to form Tipperary Co-op, and began operating out of Station Road. The 1950s & 60s were periods of stagnation in the Irish dairy industry as they battled with difficult trading conditions. Today, Tipperary Co-Operative are still farmer owned, operating at the heart of the Tipperary community. We are supplied with premium, grass-fed Irish milk from 400 local farmers. Tipperary Co-op continue to grow the business alongside the farmer-shareholders.
