1. Co-op Closed Saturday
The Co-op will be closed this Saturday, June 17th.  We apologize for any
inconvenience this may cause.  We will be open on Tuesday at our regular
summer hours (noon-7pm).  However, you can come see us Saturday at the
market!

2. Co-op at the Farmer's Market
The Richmond Farmer's Market starts this Saturday, June 17th!  Be sure to
stop by the city lot next to Morrison-Reeves library (N. 6th and N. A) for
a great selection of local produce, between 7-11am (get there earlier in
the morning for the best selection--some of the stalls close around 10 or
so...)  The Co-op doesn't carry much produce during the summer due to
decrease in foot traffic through the store, so we encourage you to plan on
obtaining your fresh local produce at the market!

You can also find the Co-op holding some space at the Market!  We will be
selling a variety of our bulk foods and snacks and doing outreach in the
local community.  Stop by and see us!

3. Welcome to Kristina Perry, the Co-op's New Kitchen Manager
The Co-op is happy to announce that we have filled the kitchen manager
position!  Kristina Perry will be joining us all the way from California. 
Kristina has extensive experience working with food and other worker
cooperatives, as well as actively working with vegetarian/vegan/ whole
foods cooking for large groups (she worked in a Friend's school cafeteria,
among other creative kitchen environments!).  She is joining the Richmond
community for a year, and will arrive in August.  We look forward to
having Kristina join us and hope you will stop by to greet her when she
arrives in August!

4. Quarterly Inventory and Work Day (We Need Your Help!!): July 1
As we do every quarter, we will be counting inventory at the Co-op and
doing some fix-er-upper chores on Saturday July 1st.  If you have joined
us for a work day, you know it's a lot more fun than it sounds!  If you
haven't joined us, why not come in for an hour or so?  We can use all the
hands we can this time, so get out of the heat and have fun at the Co-op!

5.  Produce from Salem Road Farms
We have some lovely Swiss Chard and Garlic Scapes brought by Salem Road
Farms!  Come by and pick some up.  Don't forget Salem Road's free range
organic eggs either!

6. Handmade Items at the Co-op
Long-time member Janet Wagner has graciously knitted many colorful
potholders/scrub rags to sell at the Co-op.  They are only $5 each and all
proceeds of these purchases will go to the Co-op.  Come by and see these
great crafts!

7. Next Order
We placed our most recent order to UNFI this Thursday and it should arrive
Tuesday, June 20th.  The next order will be placed Thursday June 29th and
will arrive July 5th (We will be closed July 4th!)

8. Recipe of the Week: Fruit Pizza (also known as Prego-Pizza)
Manifested in Carrie's mind at the urgings of her cravings

one large tortilla [a whole wheat pita would be a good option, too!]
1/2 cup yogurt
3 large strawberries
1 banana
1/4 cup melon
1/4 cup pineapple
1 kiwi
1 orange

(depending on the size of your tortilla/pita you may need less or more
fruit.  These are just suggestions, use whatever fruit you want, love, or
is in season!  MMM...think strawberries and mullberries)

Spread yogurt on tortilla (enough to make fruit stick).  Cut fruit into
bite sized pieces and arrange on top.  Cut pizza into 8 pieces or just
shove it all in your mouth.

Yummy options-
drizzle with honey or maple syrup,
sprinkle with poppyseeds, sesame seeds, or flax,
toss on powdered sugar
