October was National Co-op Month, and to mark the occasion, we at Cherryland just wanted to say a big thanks! to all our members. Without your input and enthusiasm, we wouldn’t be where we are today.

Since our founding more than 75 years ago, our mission has been to provide reliable, affordable, and sustainable energy to residents of Northern Michigan. We started out bringing electricity to farmers in Grand Traverse, and now we are over 30,000 member-owners strong across 6 counties. We’re proud to be a cooperative, and even prouder to be the kind of cooperative that actively participates in our community and engages members on so many levels.

It’s perhaps fitting that we get to express our thanks with a big project that’s close to our hearts—a brand-new website. We redesigned the Cherryland website with our members in mind, and we hope you like the changes. From reporting outages to paying your bill, we’ve made things simpler and easier. To read more about the new design, and get more info on a chance to win a bill credit, check out this blog post.
