We are excited to announce that Prairie Food Co-op will open on July 9, 2025! Everyone can shop conventional and organic foods and affordable staples once our doors are open.

Check out this first of a kind video of an event that’s been 12 years in the making!

We’d all love to know the DATE (or month) that Prairie Food Co-op will open its doors - after 10+ years of hard work and dedication to turn this idea of a mission-driven community-owned store into a reality.

We are starting the year on a high note!

We're taking this opportunity to share some insight into our progress so far!

We have some exciting news to share!

Prairie Food Co-op made the front page of the Chicago Tribune! We were featured in an excellent article about co-ops in the Chicagoland area. Board President, Kathy Nash was interviewed, and quoted, in the article.

Check out this inspiring report on the impacts that food co-ops have on their community. A few highlights: What is a food co-op? (we hope you know but just in case....) A food co-op is a grocery store owned by your neighbors (and by you, if you choose). Unlike corporate chains, co-ops are totally independent and owned by folks in the community that shop there.

As the effects of COVID 19 profoundly alter our lives and shake up the way we do almost everything, we are reminded that our current food system is unsustainable.

Most of us know that April showers bring May flowers. But, what do May flowers bring? PFC Yard Sign Fun!
