Co-op Fest 2026

$250Raised of $5,000

Our Favorite Time to Celebrate

our annual celebration of cooperative businesses, community power, and the people who make it all possible. This year, we're heading back to the beautiful Bahr Farm on Saturday, June 13, 2026.

Co-op Fest is more than a party. It's an opportunity to connect with the cooperatives that are woven into the fabric of our community. Whether you've been part of the co-op world for years or are just starting to get curious, this day was made for you.

Here's what to expect: a full afternoon of fun games for the whole family, hands-on activities, and face-to-face time with cooperative leaders and members from across the region. Enjoy delectable food provided by Our Harvest — because a vibrant community deserves an afternoon of delightful, farm-fresh food. And of course, soak in a beautiful summer afternoon at Bahr Farm.

You'll have the chance to meet co-ops you already love, discover ones you haven’t connected with– and leave with a fuller picture of what a democratic, community-owned economy looks and feels like. Best of all — you'll do it all surrounded by your neighbors and an ever-growing community of people dedicated to an economy that works for all.

A Celebration of Life honoring Phil Amadon

This year's Co-op Fest will also serve as a Celebration of Life for Phil Amadon — co-founder of Co-op Cincy and one of the people most responsible for bringing Our Harvest into existence.

Phil Amadon was a worker, a unionist, and a tireless advocate for the dignity of working people. A railroad mechanic for 32 years and an elected union leader, Phil co-founded the Cincinnati Union Co-op Initiative and dedicated his life to building a more democratic and equitable local economy.

We are honored to celebrate his life where his vision took root.
