Food Shed Co-op, in Woodstock, is celebrating one year of bringing fresh, local and sustainable food to McHenry County and beyond—and the community is invited to join in. From May 15 to 18, the community grocery store is hosting a four-day anniversary celebration packed with fun, food and festivities.
May 15 marks the official anniversary, with storewide discounts, surprise giveaways and daylong activities. Shoppers will find deals on favorite items, and co-op owners will receive an extra 10 percent off.
The party continues from 5 to 7 p.m. on May 16 with Sip & Support, a casual patio gathering featuring beer tastings, nonalcoholic drinks, live music and spotlights on local nonprofits. The next day features the fifth annual Plant Sale from 9 a.m. to noon, followed by a Plates for a Purpose community dinner from 4 to 6 p.m., with proceeds benefiting a local charity.
The weekend wraps up with Showcase Sunday, a vendor sampling event from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., where guests can meet local producers, taste their offerings and celebrate a year of community-powered food access.
Location: 2390 Lake Shore Dr., Woodstock. For more information, call 815-687-8480 or visit FoodShed.Coop.
