Community-Owned Cafe Roaring Success
In Green Kansas the Town and Country Restaurant thrives as a community owned hub where farmers debate farm policy over coffee and locals enjoy liver and onions. The cafe opened in 1984 after residents formed Green Restaurant Organization Inc to build a 100 seat eatery with volunteer labor and donated materials. Funding came from fundraisers and donations. the club leases the cafe to Joyce Reboul with rents helping pay the note and upkeep. The venture aims to keep prices low and foster town activity as a central meeting place.
