What is Kennett Square Food Co-op?
The Kennett Square Food Co-op will be a community-owned grocery store, located in the center of the borough, that aims to meet the food needs of all the residents in Kennett Square and surrounding areas. We are engaging in a community effort to open a grocery store that is owned by the people who use it. Take control of where your food comes from, support your community, and be mindful of your impact on your community and the world.
