Fane Valley
Based in Moira, Northern Ireland, Fane Valley Co-operative Society is a progressive agricultural and food processing business with interests in animal feed manufacturing, agricultural supplies, livestock identification and the provision of agronomy & forage services, porridge oats & breakfast cereals, the production of beef drippings, the processing of edible offal’s and fully integrated duck processing and production, operating across multiple locations in both the UK and Ireland.
Formed in 1903 Fane Valley remains 100% farmer owned. The business, which employs almost 1,000 people, continues to develop through a strategy of organic growth and targeted acquisitions.
Fane Valley Co-operative Society was formed in 1903 by a group of forward-thinking farmers in Counties Monaghan and Armagh. The name of the Co-op was derived from the River Fane whose banks touched upon both counties and the valley through which its peaceful waters flowed.
The business was founded on the co-operative principle that farmers by acting together can achieve greater things than by acting alone. In its formative year the Society purchased 80,441 gallons of milk from members producing 26,813lbs of butter.
Much has progressed in farming and food during the intervening years. A lot has also changed in Fane Valley itself. What remains constant however is the commitment and resolve of the Co-op Board and members to enhance the lives of all those connected with the Society including farmer suppliers, employees and the customers and communities we serve.
Fane Valley has been supporting local agriculture since 1903. We operate an expanding network of animal feed mills and agricultural retail outlets delivering superior quality products and technical support services to the farming community. With a geographical catchment area extending across Northern Ireland and the border counties of the Republic of Ireland Fane Valley is widely recognised as a progressive agri-business with farmer interests at its core.
Fane Valley is engaged in a diverse range of food processing activities with a strong emphasis on innovation and sustainability. From the processing of duck, edible offal to breakfast cereals we work in partnership with our farmer suppliers to create a trusted ‘farm to fork’ supply chain which provides assurance to our global customer base. Our modern processing facilities are located across the UK and Ireland.
