Earth Day Celebration

Come out to this FREE event and celebrate our precious planet - AND the 8th birthday of the Food Shed Co-op. That's right, the Food Shed Co-op was officially born on Earth Day, 2014. Now we are preparing to build the first ever community owned grocery store in McHenry County! If you aren't aware of how local food, food co-ops and responsible agriculture are connected to the health of our planet - this is a must attend event for you!

Board members will be here ready to answer your questions about the progress of the co-op and how our project can help protect our environment. The Food Shed's new General Manager will be onsite for a portion of the day ready to tell you all about our plans to build a food co-op grocery store.

The weather looks delightful for Earth Day, 2022. Along with the Food Shed booth, there will be many other interesting exhibits to keep you on the cutting edge of sustainable living. The day will be filled with exhibitors, like us, as well as guided hikes, activities, music, and crafts! Food Shed Yard Signs, T-Shirts, etc, will be available so you can fully express your Co-op LOVE publicly!

Volunteers Needed!

We will need TWO volunteers for this event. If you would like to help us greet Earth Day attendees at our Food Shed table, CLICK HERE!
