Harrisville & Alcona friends!🥕🥕

Join us at the Alcona County Library (Harrisville branch) on Monday, August 17, from 5:30–7:00 PM to learn more about the effort to create a food co-op in Alpena. A food co-op has the potential to strengthen our regional economy by keeping more food dollars local, creating new opportunities for local farmers and small businesses, increasing access to fresh, healthy food, and building a more resilient food system for Northeast Michigan.

Bring a friend, learn about our efforts so far, and help shape a vision that benefits our entire region. We hope to see you there!
