Busy week over here at Crown O’Maine…
….we are happy to offer a veggie box tailored to offer small quanitites of 10 produce items for 1-2 people. Available for delivery next week, shoot an email for the list of contents. The price is $25. Inspiration for these boxes came from Chebeague Island Food Coop who not only buys boxes for themselves, but also for seniors on the Island!
Coming up: a day long conference in Unity looking at how to leverage co-ops in our food communities. Check out more info at http://www.eatmainefoods.org/events/coop-conference. Sign up because I hear it is filling fast, and because I think ceative collaboation increases the gains to all of us. Not to mention Leah is a panelist and if you haven’t heard her take the podium on the work we do, you really haven’t seen everything our coop has to offer! The trucks, the food, the deliveries are all concrete means to an end. Food distribution is a hot topic nationally right now, and you can believe we think and talk about it day and night.
On this months ‘talk list’: grower planning. While we welcome your suggestions at any time, there is one time of the year where we plan them into reality and that is now. A quick email might just result in the answer to your summer menu prayers!
As always, we remain thankful to work till all hours of the night for such a fine caliber of customers and quality of products,
Looking forward to your orders tomorrow,
Marada
