What we do

We hope to become a thriving community centered around local food and organic farming that feeds our region, increases food resiliency and food sovereignty while also building affordable housing for our members in an eco-village setting.

This cooperative is in its early stages and we are recruiting members who wish to join in this vision.

A moderately successful farm and food business is already established with markets both direct and wholesale, with lots of opportunities for members to explore further.

When members join, they get shared ownership of the land and the farm businesses, and a leased plot of land in the eco-village to build a home on.

Our Vision

Our initial vision for the members of the cooperative is simple: to grow and thrive while feeding our Adirondack and Champlain Valley communities.

How to join

The ideal members would be people who care about food sovereignty, that want to farm organically, produce good food with integrity and bring their unique skills together in a collaborative format, with individual home ownership in an eco-village setting, with full participation in the decision-making process and future of the collective.

Since we are just forming, members (essentially co-founders) will have to determine for themselves if this is a good fit for their needs.

Oak Park Commons Cohousing – Plan to Move in Fall 2025

Illinois’ first cohousing community fosters intergenerational connection, diversity, and inclusiveness. We welcome all those who share our vision of creating a sustainable residential community in a vibrant urban suburb. Oak Park Commons Cohousing seeks new members. Join the dozen households that have already helped plan and design a five story, 24-unit building near the commercial heart of Oak Park, Illinois. The building includes a mix of one, two, and three, bedroom ADA accessible units. A package friendly first floor mailroom adjoins the lobby, elevator, and parking entrances. Noise mitigation and energy efficient air conditioning assure year-round comfort. The Carpenter & Madison streets corner location includes within a pedestrian friendly half mile radius: a middle school, bus stop, grocery co-op, drug store, bank, CTA train station, Unity Temple, Rush Hospital, Fox Park, Mills Park, and many restaurants. Madison has traffic calming and bike lanes. The Village commercial center, barely a mile away offers the Lake Theatre Cinema, Trader Joes, Whole Foods, Formula Fitness Center, Public Library, Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio, and specialty retail and service shops. Oak Park includes excellent K-12 schools. Lincoln public elementary school offers an optional Spanish bilingual program, Gwendolyn Brooks middle school’s wonderful performing arts opportunities and OPRF high school’s great college and career prep. Eight two and three bedroom units are still available for purchase starting at $406,640. Buyers pay a five percent earnest fee when signing a purchase agreement that goes toward down payment at closing. Units available for occupancy starting the last week of October 2025. Visit our website and talk with some of our members to learn more about who we are and how we envision building our community together.   Website: https://oakparkcommons.com/ Contacts: Charles Hoch 708-721-8817; Susan Stall 708-772-8817
