Since opening its doors in 1922 as the 'Farmers Exchange' to the present day, the Northern Star Coop has grown from a local group of farmers to a large business that has almost 10,000 local patrons in Northern and Central Minnesota. Our main office is in Deer River, Minnesota. We also have facilities in Backus, Hill City, Long Prairie, Northome, Pine River, Remer and Walker to provide services to this large area.

Our mission is to provide exceptional customer service to all customers ensuring courtesy, accuracy and honesty at all times while providing quality products and services at competitive prices while maintaining a financially sound profitable cooperative.
