For this part, maybe you're thinking of Johnny's? Johnny's transitioned to employee ownership in the last 10 years.
Fedco's always been a cooperative since the '70s (it's part of the funkiness of their name, something like Federation of Cooperatives). They're 60% owned by consumers, 40% owned by the workers.
Anyway -- I like them a lot, I ordered seeds from them for 10 years before starting to work at a (different) seed company, then getting to know them and cooperate with them. From my perspective they're very dedicated and passionate folks.
