I support the Chicago Market Co-Op because I believe in helping to build a place for the community to come together to get fresh, local foods that are healthy and affordable. I'm excited for the vision of a place that will support our food producers, create jobs and be at a great location that is easy for people in various neighborhoods to access.

As someone who works within the food industry, it is great to help make the vision of a Chicago Market Co-Op come alive. I see the future of the food industry as a place that is transparent on sourcing quality foods and moving production towards sustainable practices. I am glad to know and be a part of the CM that is encouraging these types of practices.
