This summer, we welcomed our 2026 Co-op Scholars to Tennessee Farmers Cooperative headquarters for the inaugural Co-op Scholars' Summit! 🥳 Throughout the day, students connected with Tennessee Farmers Cooperative leaders, explored career opportunities in agriculture, learned about the cooperative business model, and participated in leadership development sessions designed to prepare them for future success.
The Summit also provided an opportunity for scholarship recipients from across Tennessee to build relationships with one another and gain a deeper understanding of how cooperatives support agriculture, rural communities, and the next generation of leaders.
As one scholar shared, "Co-op is truly about community."
We are proud to invest in these outstanding students and look forward to seeing the impact they will make in agriculture and beyond.👏🏻

Learning the Co-op difference starts on day one! 🌱

Our Tennessee Farmers Cooperative trainees attended Co-op 101 today, hosted by the Tennessee Council of Cooperatives, to gain a deeper understanding of the cooperative business model, its history, and the important role local Co-ops play in serving farmers and rural communities across Tennessee.

We're also proud that Tennessee Farmers Cooperative Foundation Executive Director Claire Hill serves on the Tennessee Council of Cooperatives Board and had the opportunity to spend time with this year's trainee class.
