The Kennett Food Co-op – which evolved into Kennett Community Grocer – all began in 2018 when Britton Mendenhall (now our VP of the KCG Board) was having lunch with a fellow food-enthusiast and farmer friend. Over a bowl of rice and veggies, she discussed the food system and how one person could hope to make a difference in a system so large and overwhelming. As Britton began brainstorming all of the changes she would like to see in her local food environment, her friend, who had worked at Weaver's Way Co-op in Philadelphia, mentioned that a food co-op seemed to be the perfect model to connect all the dots.  At the mention of a food co-op, a light bulb went off, and the idea was born.
