News Update from Azuki’s Kitchen
If you are new and don't know Azuki's Kitchen, they used to offer the market super yummy Japanese inspired bakery items. We miss them so much but they will be coming back soon after their new commercial kitchen is finished being built. Miki asked to share this update with all of you! So excited for her!
Note from Miki (Azuki's Kitchen):
Azuki’s Kitchen is very excited to tell you that we’ve been working on building our new kitchen now! Our new business will focus on Japanese home-style food and bakery. The owner, Miki, has a Master's degree in Food Science, a Bachelor's degree in Nutrition Science, and a Culinary degree in Japan. She also grew up in the traditional Japanese family, she learned Kaiseki cuisine from her grandmother who was a Buddhist monk, Kaiseki cuisine incorporates various aspects of traditional Japanese culture and tea ceremony. Miki is very excited to introduce you to her own fusion foods based on all the knowledge and skills. The new goal of Azuki’s Kitchen is also to utilize the fresh produce and products from the local vendors. Azuki’s Kitchen hopes everyone to stay healthy and look forward to this new thing coming soon! - Miki
Delivery changes
We’ve upgraded the website so that when you go to checkout you will be presented with two options:
1. Local Pickup – This is the default selection if you come to pick up your items in the store.
2. Home Delivery – The charge for delivery will be displayed next to the option.
· The rate remains $10.00 for all deliveries within 10 miles of the Co-Op.
o Deliveries beyond 10 miles are pro-rated for the additional distance.
· If you place multiple orders over the course of the weekend, you only need to select the Home Delivery option once.
o Your orders are still combined automatically for delivery.
o Fresh Harvest- If you are expecting a Fresh Harvest bin just add a note at the bottom of your order on the Checkout page. That way I can let Gary know and he will deliver it with your market order items.
New Item: Banner Butter - Smoked Sea Salt
Enjoy some of Banner Butter's seasonal compound butter - Smoked Sea Salt. Great smokey flavor! Perfect on veggies or on a steak to give a hint of smokey goodness without the grill. Small batch cultured Grass-Fed butter made in Atlanta! Order online this weekend!

Words from my heart
Coronavirus Precautions
We are trying to do our part to part to prevent Coronavirus from spreading to our community.
Changes to pick up:
1. We are limiting to 3 shoppers at a time inside the store in order to keep you and our employees safe. We ask that you keep the recommended 6 feet distance from others.
2. Fresh Harvest Bins - If you have a Fresh Harvest delivery tomorrow and would like us to leave your bin outside the store, please email me by this evening. That way I can let the delivery driver know which bins to leave outside in front of the store. My only concern is the risk of theft. We'll do what we can to keep an eye on them but can not be held responsible. We're trying to do the best we can with the situation.
3. We ask that you please refrain from touching store items except those that belong to you or that you choose to purchase in the store. If you have any questions, please ask an employee for help.
4. No Egg Cartons or recyclable items will be taken until further notice.
In addition, as we've been doing for the past weeks, we will be constantly wiping down door handles, shopping carts, Ipad screen, and tables.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT AND PATIENCE AS WE GET THROUGH THIS TOGETHER!
Wednesday pick up time frame will remain from 1 pm to 8 pm but we are reducing our other weekday hours.
Volunteers
Many of you have offered to help Volunteer at the market and we will graciously accept your help! We would love help assisting members during pick up and explaining to new members the pick up process.
