Tonight, the Dryden Town Historical Society will be hosting a presentation on Dryden's former NEDYRD food cooperative. The Dryden Village Hall doors open at 6:30pm and the presentation starts at 7:00pm.
Thirty years ago, before the proliferation of local farm stands and whole foods choices now available in the Dryden area, a group of women came together to form a food buying cooperative. The Nedyrd (which is Dryden spelled backwards) Food Co-op was a way for local families to obtain affordable and nutritious food. Margaret Lorenzen, a founding member, will open the program and discuss the history of the organization.
It was open from 1978 to 1991, apparently. Come learn more!
