Co-op happenings this week……

We had our beautiful winter solstice volunteer dinner on Sunday - wonderful company enjoying our gorgeous local produce, and are now looking forward to the days gradually lengthening as the season changes.

We have some exciting new products in the online shop with single farm Buckland Valley beef boxes from bone+marrow and Pepo farms chocolate hazelnuts.
Greens are fantastic at the moment with interesting heirlooms from our producers that you don’t find in the mainstream grocery system because they don’t store or travel well - which is not an issue for our produce because you get it so soon after it is picked. Bernie’s Murmungee carrots are particularly delicious at present.

The co-op is open on Saturday 12-2pm and there will be fresh vegetables this week plus some lettuce and rainbow chard seedlings.

Looks forward to seeing your smiling faces
