OPENING 2026: A community-owned (co-op) grocery store in Kennett Square, PA that offers quality local food from Chester County-area farmers/producers.

By shopping local, your grocery dollars strengthen your local economy, not a big corporation. KCG will be a member-owned, one-stop grocery store/community space providing Kennett Square with nutritious and delicious food, create living-wage jobs, and provide access to healthful nutrition education. We have a clear mission, passionate Member-Owners, and overwhelming community support to open a food co-op for all residents which can build and sustain the power of "local."

A field trip to West Chester Cooperative! 🙌

I spent a couple of hours at West Chester Cooperative this week, which just opened its doors, and I had such a great visit!

I met with Issa, their Store Manager, who was incredibly welcoming and generous with his time. He showed me around, gave me a tour, and told me all about how things have been going.

Of course, I also had to play a little game of I SPY 👀 — spotting some of the local products that you’ll also find at KCG this fall! (check out the pics) 📷

There were volunteers there pitching in and helping wherever they were needed, and shoppers who were excited to finally have their co-op open. It was wonderful to see West Chester Cooperative up and running, and I’m so happy they’ve made it to this moment with the support of their community. 💛

Obviously, I came home with groceries! All the food staples… plus maple cookies, sweet & salty popcorn and black licorice. 😉

Congratulations, West Chester Cooperative! We’re cheering you on from Kennett Square. 🍄‍🟫

Meet the artist behind fromlinetoline 🐱

We’re so excited to have the work of Adriana Jaramillo of fromlinetoline at KCG this fall!

Adriana is a visual artist and printmaker from Ecuador, now based in Philadelphia. Her work has this wonderful mix of playfulness, warmth, nature, animals, and everyday moments — the kind of art that makes you smile…BIG. We especially love the way she brings those little details of life into her illustrations.

Her creative work spans painting, collage, printmaking, wearable art, and collectible pieces, and you can find her work online, at art and craft shows, and soon at KCG!

Adriana also runs a monthly Mail Club, where subscribers receive original artwork and designs made especially for the club, delivered right to their door. It’s a really fun way to follow along with her work and support her creative practice.

We’re thrilled to be able to give our shoppers a place to discover local artists like Adriana alongside the farmers, bakers, makers, and producers who make our community so spectacular.

✨ Keep an eye out for fromlinetoline when KCG opens this fall! And in the meantime, go check out Adriana’s work and give her a follow.

Meet the local microgreen growers that will be bringing us nutritious goodness this fall! 🌱

We’re excited to welcome PennGrows Microgreens and Glenmoore Greens to Kennett Community Grocer! These two local growers are taking a different approach to growing fresh greens.

PennGrows is an indoor vertical farm in Trevose, PA, founded by husband-and-wife team Mitchell and Gloria Cherny. Their journey into microgreens began when their dog, Finley, was diagnosed with cancer and Mitchell began researching the potential benefits of broccoli microgreens.

Glenmoore Greens, a women-led farm in Glenmoore, PA, grows premium leafy greens year-round using controlled-environment and aeroponic growing systems. Their focus on getting greens from farm to table in under 24 hours means freshness is a priority.

We’re especially excited that PennGrows and Glenmoore Greens complement each other so well, bringing a wide assortment of fresh, locally grown microgreens to KCG.

🍦What a night!🍦

Thank you to everyone who came out to Hangry Bear on Thursday to grab dinner, enjoy some ice cream, and support Kennett Community Grocer!

From 5:30–8:30 PM, 15% of food and ice cream sales went directly to KCG, and we had such a fun evening connecting with our community.

A huge thank you to the KCG volunteers who organized this event & came out to help make it happen! We absolutely could not do events like this without you. 💚

And congratulations to our Gummy Bear Champion! 🐻🍬 He guessed closest to the number of gummy bear packs in the jar and took the whole prize home!

And of course, a BIG thank you to the team at Hangry Bear for hosting us and helping us turn an ordinary Thursday night into a pretty sweet fundraiser. 🍦🍄

This is what community support looks like. 👏 #
