Co-op farm, garden gives dividends
SEQUIM — Mike Youngquist, general manager of The Co-op Farm and Garden in Sequim, has announced that the store had another year of growth in 2015 and distributed the surplus funds as patronage dividends.
Youngquist said, “This distinguishes us from other types of corporations. As a co-op, we don’t give our profits to a pool of outside investors; our owners are the stakeholders who our business affects most.”
A patronage dividend is a refund issued to those who purchase goods or services from a cooperative.
Checks totaling $35,000 were distributed to 1,857 patrons. Checks were written in amounts from $5 to $600.
