| What is a circular economy? Circularity is the practice of producing and consuming in a way that is regenerative and reuses, shares, and connects all parts of a system.
Our community is a perfect example of circularity in practice with the making of ‘Soup Joumou.’ Brought together by the Wild Onion community, the Haitian squash stew was made by local proveyors (and co-op owners) Gabi Walker and Byron Glapion of 4 Suns Kitchen. Their recipe used Long Island Cheese Pumpkin grown by co-op owners Lisa and Chris Gibbons of Skipping Stone Farm (Buchanan, MI).
Meet our farmers and chefs below, and pick up some Soup Joumou (available in 16oz and 32oz) while we still have it! |

Henry’s Farm is Here!
You might recognize Henry’s Farm from the Evanston farmer’s market, but with market season on break, we’re thrilled to have Henry’s Farm at Wild Onion. Henry’s scallions are of a Japanese variety and are as large as leeks! Come grab some of these beauties (and some turnips, too) while they last. |
