History
In 1937 a group of apple farmers around Cygnet were frustrated at how hard it was to make a living off the land. The prices they were being offered by private processing companies were below the cost of production. They decided it was time for action and called a public meeting at Cygnet Town Hall. The government of the day told the meeting that if 100 farmers each put in 10 pounds, they would help them to finance their own processing facility. Within 3 days 100 farmers had agreed and the Cygnet Co-operative Canning Society was born. For more information see: https://www.portcygnetcannery.com/contact
