Join us for Co-op Tabletop, a fun and welcoming board game series hosted in partnership with Game Haven and led by local gaming pro Dave Razidlo, organizer of Rochester's very own board game convention: Castle Con.

Every 1st and 3rd Sunday of the month in September, October, and November, the Co-op Café transforms into a tabletop paradise from 2:00–8:00pm. Dave will bring a massive library of board games, so whether you’re a seasoned gamer or just curious, there’s something for everyone.

Come solo or bring friends. Play a quick round or settle in for an epic game session. All ages are welcome, and no experience is necessary. Just bring your curiosity, your competitive spirit, and maybe a snack from the co-op!

We’re excited to join the University of Minnesota Rochester for Resident Life & Wellbeing Immersion Day!

People’s Food Co-op will be on campus to say hello, hand out some goodies, and share all the co-op goodness with our new neighbors (we’re just down the road). Stop by our table and learn more about how the co-op can be part of your college experience. Welcome to the neighborhood!

This 60-minute vinyasa-style yoga practice is open to all levels of experience and takes place in the cafe area of the People's Food Co-op. This will be a casual practice, as there will likely be customers milling about the store just outside the cafe area.

These classes will begin with some breathwork and intention-setting. We will then move into a gentle warm-up and begin building our sequence of poses. Modifications will be offered so you can tailor your practice to your needs. We will close with a brief savasana meditation.

Participants will receive a coupon for the Co-op as a thank you!

Please bring your yoga mat! Class fee is free-will donation.

Join People’s Food Co-op at the Rochester Farmers Market for Family Fun Days, happening every month this summer! From 7:30am to 12:00pm, we’ll be hosting a free seed planting activity that’s perfect for kids and families.

Stop by our booth to plant an organic seed (straight from the co-op!) in nutrient-rich Purple Cow Organics soil—just like what we carry in-store. You’ll pot your seed in a compostable container to take home and grow. It’s a fun, hands-on way to connect with where your food comes from and get little hands into the magic of gardening!
