Wellspring Cooperative

Co-ops in Development

Wellspring Cooperative is well-positioned to accelerate its development of new businesses through direct incubation, conversion of existing businesses into cooperatives, providing support for newly forming cooperatives, and partnering with other broader initiatives.

New Co-op Initiatives


GreenLove Eco Cleaning was founded in 2010 by biodynamic herbalist & homesteader Amy Lovell, a Pioneer Valley mother of five. Armed with her own kitchen-formulated line of organic cleaning solutions, GreenLove's fully insured and bonded team is proud to offer greener, healthier lifestyle options to our community as part of the greater movement towards sustainability.  2020 marks our tenth year in business and our team is currently collaborating with Wellspring Cooperative as we transition to a worker-owned cooperative model. GreenLove is a women-owned, women-run company with a focus on building resilient communities through fair pay, healthy lifestyle education, and family-first values. We are currently welcoming new team members in Hampshire & Berkshire counties!
