The South Cariboo Meat Co-op will construct and operate a Class B, provincially licensed red-meat abattoir in 100 Mile House to serve the ranchers of the South Cariboo region. This will allow area livestock producers to economically offer their meat products locally and throughout B.C. We are asking community-minded individuals, organizations and businesses to both join this incorporated Co-op and to invest in additional membership shares of this valuable community project. The primary benefits for Co-op members and the broader community are highlighted below:

Good for you…

• This project will ensure a locally produced supply of healthy, safe and sustainable red-meat (beef, bison, lamb & pork) for you and your family.
• Your redeemable membership shares are an excellent investment with a minimum annual interest rate of 3% and will always yield a one-half percent premium over redeemable one-year bank deposits.

Good for your community…

• This project will create and/or preserve approximately twenty food processing jobs in the South Cariboo. It will also help sustain roughly one hundred fifty families directly and/or indirectly employed in agricultural jobs in our community.
• By allowing local ranchers to move up the value-chain from just supplying live animals to participating in the production and processing of meat products, this project will significantly enhance the financial viability of ranching in the South Cariboo.
• In turn, viable working ranches have a much greater capacity to continue their valuable role as environmental stewards of our region’s farmland and forest range.
• And lastly, viable working ranches make a significant contribution to our local economy and regional tourism, while preserving a valuable component of the South Cariboo’s history and culture.

Through your membership and investment in the South Cariboo Meat Co-op, you can make a real difference in our community. Please join us to help sustain a promising future for our South Cariboo community!
