Green Co-op's 'Keep & Shop Maderapocket' to Open in Haki, Asakura City on June 6 (Sat)

Green Co-op Fukuoka, affiliated with the Green Co-op Community, will open 'Keep & Shop Maderapocket' on June 6 (Sat). The opening event will feature activities such as a raffle and a bottled milk tasting session. The event is open to everyone, with free admission and no reservations required.

What is 'Maderapocket'? Built to inherit the history of Shiwa Elementary School, which closed the year after the heavy rains in northern Kyushu, it serves as a symbol of disaster recovery. The facility was constructed through disaster relief donations from Green Co-op members and is operated by the general incorporated association 'Asa-Kuru.'

'Madera' refers to a mountain with a long history, important to the region. It is named with the hope of nurturing a regional culture that children 100 years from now can be proud of.

What is Keep & Shop Maderapocket? A community-based station that combines 'pick-up' functionality for Green Co-op catalog orders and a regular 'shop' function. Due to an agreement with Asakura City, it is open to everyone, not just members.
