Shop the Co-op!

The River City Food Co-op is a grocery store, open to the public, offering natural, organic and bulk foods.

A sustainable business considers its impact on the environment and its relationship with its suppliers, customers and employees. In the food industry, this means considering more that just the bottom line. How was this food produced? How was is distributed? Were workers, animals, or the environment mistreated along the way? When you shop at the Co-op, you are supporting the local economy and casting a vote for a better future.

TLC Commitee Meeting 10am Sat Feb 13th
Michele Treberg is starting up a TLC Committee to whip the store into good shape. She wants to clean, re-organize, paint, and other much needed work to improve the store. She wants to start off with a meeting to see who is interested and any ideas that members/volunteers may have. The TLC Committee will meet on Saturday Feb 13th in the morning. This is an excellent volunteer opportunity for anyone interested. The time will be posted in the future.

If anyone needs any super healthy Valentine Gift ideas, look no further than the pink lady apple. The pink lady comes from Australia, a hybrid mix of Golden Delicious apple and a Lady Williams apple. What's an apple have to do with Valentine's Day? Well the pink lady company uses a beautiful pink heart with a joyful kangaroo for this fancy produce sticker and that beautiful pink blush over a yellow background is sure to appeal to your true love's taste. Its flavor is both tangy & sweet, giving a very refreshing and effervescent crisp crunch when bitten into. Cristine has worked hard to get us these delicious apples and we never know how long we will have them.
