| Description | This photograph depicts the exterior of the Mountain Valley Cooperative around 1939. As one of the co-operatives put into place by the John C. Campbell Folk School, the Mountain Valley Creamery provided milk, butter, eggs, and other groceries to the community and was an important source of economic revival for the rural area. The co-operative organization, which started in 1929, was based on the model of Danish co-operative creameries observed by Olive Campbell and Marguerite Butler on their trip to Denmark in 1922. Identified in this photograph are Joe Fisher as the second person and Boyd Scroggs as the fourth person next to the gas pump. |
