Nourish Our Local Roots, Grow Your Community Co-op!
Wild Onion Market is a different kind of grocery store – a community-owned co-op rooted in Chicago’s Rogers Park neighborhood and serving surrounding communities of Andersonville, Edgewater, Evanston, and West Ridge. Unlike corporate chains, Wild Onion's focus is squarely on neighbors, local farmers, and building a resilient food system right at home. Guided by core values of community, cooperation, equity, sustainability, and health, the co-op is committed to ensuring your dollars directly support the hardworking local farmers and artisans who nourish everyone in its Chicago communities.
Wild Ramps, a/k/a our namesake Wild OnionsYour generous, tax-exempt donation will fuel the co-op's working capital fund. The first nine months of operations have been both a dream come true and a realization of the many challenges facing locally-owned, small stores that focus on stocking local suppliers with a limited budget! The working capital fund will give the co-op room to expand partnerships with local growers and producers that supply fresh, high-quality produce, to prepare for equipment failures, and maybe even start dreaming about what comes next.
Donate today and invest directly in your local food community!
As its fiscal sponsor, the Cooperative Development Fund of CDS will use your gift to benefit Wild Onion Market in a manner consistent with the Fund's charitable purpose to support the wise use and development of cooperatively owned businesses.
