Fare Share Co-op began in the early 1970’s as West Paris Co-op (or Goat Co-op), a group of families who gathered monthly in a member’s barn to jointly pre-order cases of produce and staples. Membership grew and more pre-order groups were established, until in 1978, two storefront co-ops were opened: one in Bethel and one in South Paris. The one in South Paris became known as Fare Share Co-op. A coordinator was hired and membership levels were instituted. The Co-op incorporated in 1978 as Oxford Hills Food and Nutrition Exchange, Inc., a non-profit corporation in the State of Maine.
