Local produce, expanded summer hours
admin on Jun 4th 2010
Hello friends,
The lovely rains we’ve gotten lately have brought on quite a boon of local produce. We received deliveries from three farms yesterday! The cooler is full of the late Spring wave of our local offerings: Carrots, broccoli, broccoli raab, joi choy, mizuna greens, garlic scapes, beets, swiss chard, kale, cabbage, and snap peas. We even have recipies from Salem Road Farms for those asian greens they brought us. If we run out before you get here, we will be receiving regular deliveries; and you are welcome to follow us on twitter to receive our tweets when produce arrives.
The farmer’s market officially starts on June 12th, uptown in the parking lot across the street from the library. This week the local produce is at the Co-op!
If you have been waiting to become an owner-member, now may be a good time. We are hosting our first ‘Owner-Member event’ on Wednesday, June 9th from 7pm-9pm. Debbie Trocha, of the Indiana Cooperative Council, will be here to discuss the role of Co-ops in our communities. Her talk will be followed by lively discussion as we meet many of our local suppliers; and savor the creations of Jen Ferrell (board member and personal chef of ‘Who Cooks for You?’).
Remember, as you plan your dishes for potlucks or picnics, the Co-op has biodegradable plates and cutlery by Terra Ware.
Another reminder, our expanded Summer hours: 10 am - 7 pm, Monday - Saturday!
See you at the Co-op,
Kiersten Aubre-Howard
