About The Co-Op

Serving our community for more than 60 years

In 1950, local farmers and ranchers came together to form Roaring Fork Valley Co-op in Basalt, Colorado, to meet the needs of their operations. Memberships of $25 were issued to provide capital to build the business. As the Roaring Fork Valley grew, we relocated to Carbondale in two locations until the 1970s when we settled at our current location.

We are a diversified co-op, offering products and services not only for local ranchers, but also commercial and residential customers, hobby farmers, horse lovers, gardeners, outdoor enthusiasts and more. You don’t need to be a member to shop at Roaring Fork Valley Co-op, but a $25 lifetime membership entitles you to a 2% discount at time of purchase, and patronage dividends at the end of our fiscal year.
