Fane Valley Co-operative Society Ltd. was established in 1903 by a group of farmers who wished to improve the marketing of their butter which at that time was produced on the farm. The group came together and built the original Fane Valley dairy which was located on the banks of the Fane Valley river bordering counties Armagh and Monaghan.
Fane Valley does contribute widely with small amounts to local charities. In addition specific amounts are sometimes donated annually to charities eg. Action MS and the Newry Hospice. They are however unable to assist in supporting all the requests currently received.
