This lovely little community-owned grocery store in Lombard has been open since last July. It is a great place to find some fresh vegetables and unique items. After some challenges associated with the opening of any business, it’s heartening to see the efforts to improve the customer experience, and to provide a community atmosphere.
The goal is to provide access to local, organic, and fairtrade producers and artisans, thereby supporting a broader food economy. I look forward to seeing what kinds of local and fresh produce will be appearing during this year’s local growing season.
If you find a chance to stop by, you will find some surprising good prices. For example, I found gluten-free Three Wishes cereal at less than $5.00. It can be priced around $9.00 at conventional stores. Store management has been working on finding the right price points for specialty foods that are pleasing for shoppers.
The co-op is community owned and operated and deserves our
support. You do not need to be an owner to shop here. The store is located at 837 S. Westmore-Meyers Rd, Lombard, and is
open 7am to 8pm daily. See more details here, https://www.prairiefood.coop
