Life at Capricorn

Our culture is founded from our history of unity and collaboration, starting back in 1970 when our pioneers faced a daunting challenge that threatened their livelihoods. Alone, they were powerless, but together, they pooled their resources and determination to form a cooperative buying group. That spirit of collective strength gave birth to Capricorn and defines who we are to this day.

We are committed to developing deeper connections with our Members, partners, and each other, and to always find opportunities to enhance the lives and businesses of our Community.
