What's A CO-OP
and How Does It Work?
Tuesday June 16, 2026
zoom
12:00PM - 1:00PM

Join us as Katie Novak leads a 60-minute virtual session exploring how cooperatives are transforming local food systems, and what that could look like in North Texas.

Across the country, farmers are teaming up to share infrastructure, build regional brands, and access larger markets. From orchardists in Washington to flower growers in Seatle. We’ll break down what a co-op is, what it means to be an owner, and how a co-op could strengthen both farm viability and food access. This conversation is designed for farmers, food entrepreneurs, and community leaders ready to explore practical, locally rooted solutions!
