Chicago Market Owner Katie Lopes, #917, is pretty connected to where her food comes from so we’re bringing you her story of a recent farm visit. Our vision is a store that helps shoppers stay connected to their food and farmers.

With her sweet pooch, Blue, in tow, one of Chicago Market's newest Owners, Bridget Janso #1508, has a list of things she'd like to see come to life once our Co-op opens. But first...here's a little about her and her brood.

One of the major milestones in a co-op's development is hiring a Project Manager and we're bringing one on right now!

How do start-up grocery co-ops like ours learn from experts and peers? The annual Up & Coming Food Co-op Conference is one of the many ways!

Uptown Owner Drew Roley, #1507, is a voice in favor of the Co-op being an engaged part of the community. "Concern for Community" is one of the seven cooperative principles we adhere to so we couldn't agree more!

The co-op model works. That's the moral of the story of the River Valley Co-op in Northampton, MA.

Rosemary Metzger, Owner #1495, has a vision for ways her grocery Co-op can help her. Read how.

We're excited to bring you a guest blog post from Kate Jakubas, Owner #406, who has a producer's perspective on the value of Chicago Market in our city.

In early 2013, probably right around when you were starting to get some traction on the Chicago Market idea, I had a little seed of an idea that I wanted to make cleaning products.

Martha Feldman, Owner #1515 joined us recently and we're excited to get to know her.

With 2018 behind us, Chicago Market – (YOUR) Community Co-op – would like to take the opportunity to say THANK YOU to ALL our volunteers for your time, talent, and enthusiasm.
