Have questions about becoming a member at Yolla Co-Op? We're here to help!
Yolla Co-Op is a farmer’s co-operative supplying a full range of rural merchandise and supplies to Tasmanian farmers. Formed in 1977 by a handful of farmers at Yolla in North West Tasmania, the Co-Op today serves some 1,600 members throughout Tasmania.
Yolla Co-op exists for the benefit of our members; each member is equally important to us. We’re not a large corporate or multinational company. We’re not trying to maximise profits for corporate investors and institutions, as in the case of many of our competitors. Owned by Tasmanian Farmers and proud of it!
We’re owned and managed by Tasmanian farmers - we work for you! We provide our members with a full range of rural supplies at extremely competitive prices. We buy goods in bulk and pass on the savings to our members.
You can read more about who we are and more about our 45+ year history online.
Membership is open to primary producers. To ensure we meet legislative requirements, applicants are required to provide the Yolla Co-Op with certain information and declarations regarding their farming operations.
Membership with Yolla Co-Op entitles you to significant savings across the full range of rural supplies we provide. We use the combined purchasing power of our membership to offer significant savings on other goods and services, including fuel, insurance, automotive goods, etc.
Whilst anybody can shop at the Co-op, membership entitles you to very significant savings on every product across the full range of rural supplies. Members are eligible for a further 1% loyalty discount on their purchases if they pay within normal trading terms. At the discretion of the Board this discount can be increased depending upon the Co-op’s performance.
We also provide members with free & timely delivery on all orders over $800, in-store pickup on all orders, and access to bulk product orders, such as grain, fuel & fertiliser, which are all delivered to your farm. Members also have exclusive access to our certified agronomist who will meet you in-store or on farm to discuss all of your farming needs.
Membership costs $264.00 including GST per year.
