AugustaCoop.com In 1929, 205 farmer-members met in Weyers Cave, VA, to form the Augusta Cooperative Farm Bureau, Inc. Their idea was simple—join together to effectively market and distribute agriculture products and farm supplies to local patrons. In the first year, after borrowing $3,000 to start the business, Augusta Cooperative profited $15,000. From there, sights were set on growth. Just three years after establishing the company, Augusta Cooperative opened its second location in Staunton, VA. The original store and corporate offices were located on Commerce Avenue (just off Route 11). In 1936, Waynesboro and 1939, Raphine stores were added to Augusta’s retail store offerings. Twenty years after its original opening, the Staunton retail store and corporate offices were moved to the current location on Richmond Avenue. Later that year, the Raphine store transitioned to Fairfield in order to allow for expansion. During the 1970’s, Augusta Cooperative focused growth efforts around the agronomy and feed mill divisions. In 1972, Augusta Cooperative built a state-of-the-art steel feed mill that still stands behind the Staunton retail store today and manufactures over 23,000 tons of feed annually. A liquid fertilizer plant was added in 1975, and the first liquid applicator was purchased in 1986. In 1987, Augusta Cooperative purchased Spangler’s Farm Supply in Scottsville which was known as the Scottsville AG facility. Augusta Cooperative again expanded its southern presence in Bedford by purchasing Bedford Agri Service in 2000, which later moved to its current location in Moneta in 2007. Most recently, in 2014, Augusta Cooperative purchased W.F. Paulett & Sons, Inc., which now operates as W.F. Paulett Ace Hardware in Scottsville. In 2016, Augusta Cooperative added the Troutville Fertilizer distribution facility. Currently, Augusta Cooperative operates four retail store locations in Staunton, Weyers Cave, Fairfield and Scottsville. In 2014, Staunton transitioned its retail store to Augusta True Value, offering its members and the general public a more diverse selection of products, followed by the Weyers Cave store in 2016 and Fairfield in 2018. In 2021, Augusta Cooperative formed a joint partnership with Smoky Mountain Farmers Co-op (Sevierville, TN), called ASM Ag Services, LLC. The new organization purchased two retail locations in Bristol and Marion, Virginia. Today, our diverse businesses give us a farm-tofork view of agriculture.
