This week at your Co-op November 11, 2019

Calling all members... I'd like to just go ahead and call out my favorite two things in the Co-op right now: Nootka Rose carrots and Maria's giant walnuts! No, the carrots aren't all that tiny! I'm sure you've noticed all the construction work lately. We now have a brand new roof, a beautiful start to what will be our new front entry next year, and a solid roof over our outdoor produce cooler. We're thrilled to see what's next - so stay tuned. And thank you for your patience during all the hammering! Kristin

Maria's Fruit Has Arrived!! Maria Dennis, AKA The Fruit Lady, made her final passage for the year over to our lucky Co-op. Maria has been working with and selling to the Co-op for over 10 years (if you can believe it!) and we'll ask for her to carry on for another 10 years. This trip she brought her apples, dried fruit and giant walnuts with her. I've bought the dried apples for years, so this year I went out on a limb and purchased the dried pluots. Oh my goodness - I am not disappointed! I will be munching on these happily into the winter. And the walnuts - pristine taste - and will make excellent gifts. I bought those as well! Thank you, Maria!
