Volunteer Potluck
Saturday, December 7th
3-5 PM
The Co-op got its start from a handful of committed volunteers and we have a fine and friendly staff to carry on our mission.
Volunteers continue to sustain the health of our Co-op and we thank all of you for your commitment and willingness to show up, follow through and care for the store and membership.
We wouldn't be here without you - and we know that.
So come to the potluck, all former, current, and possibly future volunteers! Bring a friend and bring a dish. See you there!
Thank you all for being part of the Co-op family.

The new bakery space is absolutely beautiful and very close to up and running but will not be ready for delivering bread orders next week. We are going to need to push our first delivery day and apologize for all the impact this will have on you.
In combination with a complex new oven system we need another week and we deeply appreciate your understanding. We so look forward to cranking out beautiful loaves and pastries just as soon as we can!
Best wishes,
Sage and Nathan and Team

We've got some fabulous produce in store that I wanted to share with you.
It's not a big growing season with many of our farms, but we're still working to bring you the best produce we can.
If you don't see it out in the produce bins, we may have it in back - please ask!

'Tis the season for bulk dried fruit
Soak it, eat it straight up, your choice.
Keep the summer flavors alive and stock up for the winter months to come.
Note: please bring your own containers and bags when you buy bulk - let's create a culture of zero-waste together!
We also regularly have sterilized jars as a free option - and we can thank Derek for that.
Thanks, Derek!

Three cases were found in a warehouse...

Jimenez-Landi Sotorrondero 2015
This organic Spanish Grenach/Syrah blend delivers, with deep, dark fruit, spice, earth and meaty notes. Vibrant raspberry and strawberry fruit, fresh acidity, hints of spice, smoke and dried meat.
Medium-bodied, intense, but with a real sense of elegance that is rare in the often burley world of Spanish reds.
We've had this one before, but our sources dried up.
Three cases were found in a warehouse in California
- and they offered them to us first, but this may be the last of it on the West Coast.
Was $16.95 - offering now for $12.95.
