Co-op under construction!
Projects continue with the new roofing of the Co-op. The timing is decided by the weather, so be on the lookout.
Thank you for your patience as we've been working on projects throughout the building.
Out back the walk-in has an enclosure, and the new door below is just the beginning of a whole new entry area!

it will soften up just enough to be ready to eat!

Turkey orders for Thanksgiving will be coming soon. We had to order very early, so sizes will be assigned based on first come, first served. There will be some free-range, but mostly organic. Watch for it soon.

The last fruit delivery of the season will arrive November 7 from Maria and Brian Dennis' small family orchard in Orondo. They will bring mixed boxes of apples for members to special order and several varieties for our store to sell by the pound -- some for pies and sauce and some for fresh eating.
Maria will also bring her wonderful dried fruits and gigantic walnuts from her parents' tree for winter holiday treats.
Look for special order information late this week; orders will be due a week from tomorrow.
