Our Community

 
 Tipperary Co-op is a true community-focused business and is owned and controlled by our milk suppliers/shareholders. We are investing in our community and they are invested in us.
 
 We contribute to the local economy by supporting local farmers and agriculture generally, providing local employment opportunities, and supporting other local businesses. Our economic relationship with the community is a positive cycle that we are incredibly proud of and that pride is weaved through everything we do. The business is a significant contributor to local and national exchequers. 
 
Expertise, support, and loyalty are part of our customers’ relationship with us and part of our relationship with them.
We take pride in every aspect of our business including how our success allows us support many aspects of our local community. The Co-op’s corporate sponsorship policy is to support sporting , cultural and educational endeavours within our locality.  We are local and we are indigenous – and we take pride in that.
