ORGANIC SALAD BAR, ANYONE?
What do you all think about the coop installing an ORGANIC SALAD BAR upstairs in the Foodshed Café? We’ve heard the request many times over the years and we are finally getting to a place where we think we can make it happen. The membership equity drive starts in October and this year we are hoping to make this the focus and goal... that all depends on you though so please let us know if this is something you would like to see at your co-op. We could also use some feedback about the items you would like to see available on the bar (examples: sprouted quinoa or vegan Caesar dressing or local greens from your favorite farmer). Just reply back to this email with your thoughts or suggestions, and thanks for taking the time! Your feedback will help us tremendously in our planning over the next couple of months 🙏🏽😍
