Special Events
Food Security is the foremost issue behind the co-op. It is our intention not only to educate others about the importance and health benefits of eating nutritionally dense foods but also providing access to them. We are currently working on projects such as: growing our own food that will engage and inspire youth, offering classes and programs to provide the most relevant and essential information to consumers, growers and producers of food, and launching a state-wide delivery of organic, local and nutrient dense foods. In addition, we are staunch supporters of The Real Food Campaign and production of high BRIX foods.
Join us every FRIDAY @ 6:30pm for our weekly community potluck (bring an organic local dish to share! Live & local foods preferred! Try a new recipe - bring a card with the list of ingredients and your own mug) Films start @ 7pm.

Why Raw Foods? Ask about our prepared raw foods available weekly....
Everyone knows it is healthy to eat fresh, uncooked fruits and vegetables every day. A diet that includes whole, ripe, raw organic fruits and vegetables, sprouted nuts, seeds, and grains can greatly contribute to achieving optimum health. Organically grown raw and living foods provide high-quality nutrition while naturally supporting both proper digestion and a well-functioning immune system. Eating these life-giving foods helps to alkalize the body, a key factor in building excellent health. When the body is in an alkaline state, it is better able both to absorb nutrients and to expel toxins more efficiently. The SAD (Standard American Diet) of meat, bread, dairy products, processed/cooked foods, caffeine, and alcohol creates an acidic state in the body, which contributes to a variety of health problems.
