What is 3RFC?
The mission of Three Rivers Flower Cooperative (3RFC) is to be a grower-owned cut flower collective that serves florists and flower lovers in western Pennsylvania. 3RFC plans to support and expand the local economy using a streamlined sales platform, shared market space, and delivery service to distribute products from our multiple member-growers. Our grower-members will use sustainable practices to produce environmentally friendly, high quality, specialty products. Members also will benefit from increased sales and the ability to share resources, knowledge, and community.
We have been partnered with Keystone Development Center (KDC) since early summer 2025. KDC is helping us develop our cooperative by providing education and consultation. In early January 2026 we will complete KDC's Cooperative Academy. Stay tuned for more information!
