Co-op Cultivation in Brockton

The Co-op Cultivators of Greater Brockton (CCGB) have kept the momentum going in 2025 to promote and develop cooperative business practices in the greater Brockton area. Since its formation in 2018, CCGB as a project of Brockton Interfaith Community (BIC), has made it its mission to build a cooperative ecosystem in the greater Brockton area. Originally a volunteer group, the team has since procured four rounds of grant funding from the Community Empowerment and Reinvestment Grant program (CERP) offered by Massachusetts Executive Office of Economic Development (EOED).

Through the first half of 2025, CCGB has facilitated four trainings and trained 100+ youth and adults in cooperative business practices – some trainings translated into Haitian Creole and Cape Verdean Creole.
