Overview
Member-owned full-service grocery store with a deli, bulk section, and locally sourced produce.
Food Shed Co-op is a full-service grocery store owned and democratically governed by nearly 3,000 local owners. It opened in May 2024 after a decade of planning, fundraising, and volunteer effort by McHenry County residents. The store carries fresh produce, deli items, bulk foods, and a grab-and-go section. Anyone may shop there; ownership is not required. Households can become owners for a one-time investment of $200, which brings exclusive perks including weekly Owner's Basket specials and 10% off one full shopping trip each month. Owners also hold a vote in co-op governance through democratic elections. Learn more on their About Page.
Food Shed Co-op's stated goals include supporting local farmers and food producers, stocking sustainably produced items, and providing clear labeling with full product disclosure. The store promotes locally sourced produce and runs a weekly co-op deals program that highlights local sourcing. Its sustainability statement commits to supporting local, sustainable farms and businesses and incorporating environmental best practices throughout its operations. The co-op also aims to pay workers a living wage and to champion food justice and accessibility. A Wooden Nickel Program connects purchases to local giving, and the store hosts in-store events and educational programming for the broader community.
