About Orange Madison Cooperative

In 1977, the Madison location was moved to its’ current location on North Main Street in Madison, Virginia. The Orange store made its final relocation in 1987 to James Madison Highway in Orange, Virginia. The closure of the Gordonsville location in 1997 led to Orange-Madison Cooperative leasing the Louisa Feed Service in Louisa, Virginia. At the time, the facilities were owned by the Marshall Family. It wasn’t until 2017 that Louisa Feed Service was purchased by the Orange-Madison Cooperative officially adding it as the company’s third location. Today, all three store and warehouse locations offer services in agronomy, farm supply, and animal nutrition services.

In 1991, Orange-Madison Cooperative entered to a management agreement with Southern States Cooperative located in Richmond, Virginia. Southern States provided services to OMC in accounting, IT, Human Resources, and Safety. Two years later, the Orange-Madison Cooperative established a propane operation. Like the other divisions within the Cooperative, its energy service department expanded. In 2006, the Cooperative purchased Carlton Brook Petroleum, a refined fuels distributor. This was a Southern States private dealer located in Charlottesville, Virginia which is currently home to our petroleum division. In 2013, Orange-Madison Cooperative purchased UTZ & Shepherd Fuel Oil Business in Madison County.  Today, the cooperative provides energy services out of the Orange location and supplies petroleum out of our Charlottesville facility.
