Local Women Owned Businesses

Above is Melissa of Wild Hollow Farm

March 8th is International Women’s Day and we want to highlight the amazing women owned businesses that supply the co-op with many amazing products. From soap, to spice kits, to delicious produce, the women of Chequamegon Bay care a whole lot about making our community a better place to live. Let’s celebrate the women who make the Chequamegon Food Co-op, the Chequamegon Food Co-op.

Did we mention that the Co-op itself, though owned by the entire community, nine out of nine people on our management team are women! – And let’s hand it to our amazing General Manager – Kiersten! 💪
