Join us at the Woodstock Farmer's Market where various local farmers and vendors surround the Historic Woodstock Square as well as throughout the center park. You can find the Food Shed Co-op at a table at the market where we will be introducing the co-op to farm market attendees! The Woodstock Farmer's Market runs from 8:00am to 1:00pm and features entertainment as well as local produce and products.

The Woodstock Farmer's Market is a Producers Only Market - meaning everything you purchase is grown or produced directly by the vendor you are purchasing from. Remember to always buy local if you can!

The Food Shed Co-op is proud to be joining local farmers at the Farmer's Market at the Dole! We will be manning a table at the market to find new owners and inform the public of our up and coming locally-owned grocery store! Why not plan on visiting one of Illinois best farmer's market and stop in and say hello at the Food Shed Co-op table?
