About this Event
The Catonsville Cooperative Market, in partnership with Cooperative Community Development, invites you to consider the future of food co-ops with author and educator Jon Steinman. Discover how these community-driven organizations are shaping the food system and promoting sustainability.
This event is perfect for anyone interested in food co-ops, community building, and supporting local farmers and vendors. Come ready to learn, share ideas, and connect with like-minded individuals.
In this visually rich and inspiring talk, Jon will share insights from food co-ops across the country and offer a clear look at what it takes to create a successful community-owned grocery store. Together, we’ll explore:
- How the grocery landscape is changing—from supply chain disruptions to industry consolidation
- Why food co-ops are more relevant than ever in today’s economy
- How modern co-ops are adapting and thriving, from small towns to major cities
- What’s involved in starting a storefront co-op, including the models, timelines, and ingredients for success
- Lessons learned from both successful and challenged co-ops nationwide.
We will have plenty of time for questions and sharing. Light refreshments will be served.
Don't miss out on this opportunity to be part of the conversation! Mark your calendars and invite your friends. See you there!
