Clear Creek Food Cooperative

Hello friends,

Organically grown pumpkins, squash, and potatoes arrived today!  The store window is full of gorgeous, edible varieties as well as funky, decorative ones.  Come in and take a look.

Looking ahead to fall means inviting folks to join in the fun of our Autumn quarter inventory!  We will be weighing our bounty on Saturday, October 2nd.  We will start upon opening at 10:00.   Counting with us for a two hour shift earns you a 15% discount on your purchases that day*.

Our Toddler Time classes are filling up fast!  Check out the website for more details.

See you at the Coop!

Hello all!  We wanted to let everyone know about the incredible stock of freshly picked (today!) produce now available at the co-op.  David Reed has brought to our store everything he would usually be selling at the Tuesday evening Farmers’ Market.  He’s doing us a great service, so show him your appreciation by coming over to look at all these delicious vegetables!  We have loads of tomatoes, yellow, red, heirloom and multi-colored cherry.  Two types of eggplant, Japanese and Italian.  Two types of cucumbers, a small variety and a Lemon cucumber.  We have mixed greens, radishes, zucchini, squash, potatoes, apples, basil and various peppers.  Really, a great looking batch of produce at very excellent prices.  You will not be disappointed!

We are carrying quite a few new grocery items of note.  We now have vegetable bouillon cubes, organic ghee (clarified butter), a new gluten free angel hair rice pasta, powdered 100% wasabi (just add water to make a paste), a quick and yummy meal of Cuban style rice and beans, a whole grain gluten free pizza crust mix, two types of pretzels- Bavarian and honey wheat, a crispy rice chocolate peanut granola bar (great for kids’ lunch boxes), two new kinds of fair trade milk chocolate- the bug bites for a small treat or the toffee crunch bar.  We are also carrying Whole Soy’s soy yogurt, organic Rice Dream vanilla ice cream, organic vanilla almond milk, two types of Suzie’s crackers- Rosemary and Sesame saltines and Multiseed Spelt flatbread, 32 oz. Nature’s Gate herbal shampoo and conditioner and Real Salt.

Hope to see you soon and have a lovely rest of the week.  Thanks!

Hello folks,

I just delivered our new milk line to the coop!  The company is Nature’s Farm, and it is a totally local product!  The cows live in Indiana pastures, the company is based out of West Lafayette, the milk is processed here in Richmond, and I picked it up at Smith Dairy this afternoon (approximately 4.5 miles to the store).  The packing is recyclable and boast a low carbon foot print.  The milk has apparently beaten Organic Valley, Horizon, and many other national brands in blind taste tests.  The milk also boasts a high omega content that comes from a kelp mixture the cows are fed during the milking.  The price is also really great, you can pick up a 1/2 gallon carton for only $3.99!  This product supports Indiana families, farms and producers; and fits nicely into the 100 mile radius goal.
