As Cooper Farms celebrates 80 years of business, it is certain to acknowledge the people and culture that led the company through it all. The company released a video on Oct. 2 highlighting some stories and people that embody the Cooper Farms culture. The video, produced by their communications department, can be viewed on Facebook and YouTube.

For 80 years, the Cooper family has made a point to run their business based on a set of core family values. To Virgil Cooper, a handshake was as good as a contract, and his children, Jim, Dianne and Gary, are maintaining those values today through fantastic customer service, community involvement and offering a family-like atmosphere in the workplace.

“We’re very excited and proud to be celebrating 80 years as a family-owned company,” said Chief Operating Officer Gary Cooper. “Over the years, we’ve done our best to maintain the same integrity in which our father built the company.”

The video, which is approximately ten minutes in length, highlights several team members sharing memories, stories and their appreciation for Cooper Farms.

Live Division General Manager, Terry Wehrkamp, believes these team members were able to grow within Cooper Farms because of the opportunities provided by the company.

“We love to play off people’s strengths here,” said Wehrkamp. “Instead of trying to force a square peg into a round hole, we recognize what our team members are good at and embrace it, and then use the struggles they may have as a chance to grow and learn with the company.”
