New flavor & texture of Lemon Sourdough Muffins from Azuki’s Kitchen!
Your feedback really makes a difference to our vendors and farmers!!
Miki thanks you for your feedback and has improved on the flavor and texture of her lemon muffins. Most comments were it was a little bitter but you liked that it wasn't overly sweet.

Pastured Chicken Backs ON SALE
Back In Time Farm put their pasture raised, soy free, chicken back on sale just in time for soup season! These are perfect to use to make your own healing chicken bone broth. Start making your bone broth now and freeze so you'll have plenty ready for soups and stews this winter!
I suggest you roast the bones, pick off meat, first. Here's a link to some recipes

Build out Update
Update: More progress this week! Bathroom walls and HVAC installed! New website is almost done and I hope to launch in the next couple of weeks. I'll continue to keep you all posted and give everyone plenty of notice before we move. As of right now we are probably still a couple of months out depending on how fast permits will be issued...

PLEASE HELP! Volunteers Needed at pick up!
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!
Since I'm not sure when the new store will open up I went ahead a created Volunteer schedule until August. Hopefully we'll be at new location sooner... Please click link below if you can help!
Please consider volunteering during market pick up. I can’t run the market without your help! Shifts are 1 hour long and go by really fast. It's a great opportunity to meet and help your fellow members!
Thank you Elizabeth, Melanie, Chuck, Erika, Gwen, and Miki for volunteering last Wednesday! We couldn't have the co-op without our amazing volunteers!!
If you are interested in volunteering but unsure exactly what that involves, please let Nora know and she will do a quick "volunteer orientation" with you on a day/time that you pick up.
