Clear Creek Food Cooperative

Hello friends,

The rain last Saturday did put a damper on the opening day of market.  From the  back door of the Co-op I could see our dedicated farmers, clad in rain gear, vending  to a brave soul or two.

This Saturday at 9am and again at 10am, Annelies Sizelove of the Cope Environmental Center will be offering a Reptile and Amphibian program for the kiddos.

Next Saturday, June 26th we will have live music provided by Soul Marrow Transplant from 9am-11am and Gill Miller from 11am-close of market.

After the market come on in to the Co-op for tofuti cuties or cold fruit drinks while you stock up for the coming week.  Don’t forget your containers to refill and your bags!  If you can’t make it to the market, don’t worry, the Co-op has fresh, local produce every day.

See you at the Co-op,
Kiersten

Hello friends,

Tomorrow, June 12th, is the opening day of our local farmer’s market! The market is held in the parking lot just east of the library, between 6th and 7th streets. If the array of local produce in our cooler is any indication of what you may find, it should be a great showing of late Spring offerings. David Reed, who has kept us supplied with wonderful greens all Winter and Spring will be there with his lettuce, swiss chard, juicy carrots, beets and much more. Salem Road Farms products will be available at the co-op. Their potted herbs, tomatoes, and pepper plants are available through the early part of the week if you have been waiting to start your own home gardens. Jennifer Walters, of ‘The Food Dude’s Farm’, has agreed to keep us stocked with her produce through the Summer weeks if David sells out at the markets on Saturdays.

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.

I hear we have some rain coming through tomorrow.  It sounds like a perfect day to come in to the Co-op and check out the fresh produce.  We have gorgeous spinach, lettuce, mixed greens and kale.  We even have a few packages of local carrots, radishes, and asparagus! You can practice your Summer routine of heading uptown on Saturday morning for the farmer’s market and local products offered at the Co-op.

We just got a delivery of fresh roasted coffee, and fresh Trader’s Point Creamery products.  The egg and chicken delivery comes in tomorrow, and we have Tofurky roasts for a rainy day gathering.

We have new miso soup,  and new offerings of Jyoti Indian cuisine and curry pastes.  The local, bulk honey is back; and the Food For Life millet bread that many of you have been asking for is in.  Most of our refreshing natural beverages are on sale; and we have those tasty Rice Dream Pies in the freezer.  Come in and see all of the new products and sale items.

See you at the Co-op,
Kiersten Aubre-Howard
