Our History
Frontier Co-op began as a two-person operation in 1976 in a river cabin in Eastern Iowa. Since then we‘ve grown steadily to become a major supplier of natural products. Our success throughout the years reflects our close harmony with the product needs and the values of our members and natural products consumers.
Giving Back
We give back 4% of annual net savings to charitable causes and improves life in communities all around the world where our products are produced. (Many of our growers live in poor rural villages in developing countries.) We are committed to doing business in a way that is positive for everyone involved with Frontier Co-op.
