Celebrate 50 Years of Seward Co-op!

Open Streets Franklin Ave 2022

As we celebrate 50 years of Seward Co-op, we reflect on our legacy and continued work supporting a thriving and resilient local food system. This year is the return of our in-person fair, held on Saturday, April 23 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Seward Co-op Creamery parking lot at 2601 E. Franklin Ave. If you can’t make it, browse our CSA Farm Guide for a virtual fair experience!

We’ll hear from farmers, producers and other community partners about Seward Co-op’s impact over the past decades. In person on April 23, you’ll also have the opportunity to learn about local farms and speak directly with nearly 30 farmers to choose a CSA share that is right for you and your household. Enjoy treats, prizes, and an activity area with Midwest Food Connection for the kids as we celebrate and look to the future. Online, we will be featuring stories, videos and photos from local CSA farmers. The Virtual CSA Fair will take place on Seward Co-op’s website and social media the weeks leading up to April 23.

This event is open to all – RSVP is not required, but if you register via the Eventbrite link below, we will send you a reminder email the day before the event.
