Meet HPC Board Member Joel Krogstad

—by Rachel Fang

New HPC Board member Joel Krogstad comes from a family that has “cooperatives in its blood.” Joel grew up in a housing co-op in the suburbs of Chicago called York Center, in which some 70 families collectively owned 50 acres. Each family owned its own home, and shared common areas. Growing up in this close community, in which people were in and out of each other’s homes, helped form Joel's passion for the cooperative model.

Moving Forward at Hampden Park Co-op

—by Nicolet Lyon

Hampden Park Co-op serves its members and community by providing delicious and wholesome food grown in an ecologically sound manner and by involving its members in the process from field to table. Our mutual mission is grounded in respect: for the growers who deserve to make a fair wage and work in safe conditions, for the earth and the limited resources available, and for the eaters who deserve clean and healthy food. This work we do together has only grown in importance since the co-op opened its doors over 30 years ago.

It’s time now to make some important decisions, and the co-op’s Board of Directors would like your help in deciding how the co-op will move forward sustainably.
