Order #58 – New Produce and Order Information!

Can you believe it’s almost July?  With produce season in full swing, make sure you check out the new offerings that Valley Co-op has each cycle!  Have a great July 4th Holiday!

We are increasing meat availability to every order cycle for the summer as a test. Please send your feedback about this change to editor@valleycoop.org.

 Specials and news this cycle (#58):

• Cookie & Crumb Bake Shoppe will be on vacation in July, but will be back and offering goodies to the co-op in August. 
• Frog Eye Blueberry Farm will continue to offer bluberries this cycle.  Please return blueberries boxes at pickup this cycle for re-use.

Members are needed to work pickup Thursday (7/5), all day with most help needed Thursday 4-8. Please sign up online so that we know to expect you.

We will continue to make changes to our pickup procedures to make it smoother.  We ask that you

• follow signs of entry and exit,
• allow a Pickup Volunteer (with a snazzy nametag) to assist you, and
• double check your products against your paper invoice.

Mandatory volunteer requirement starts 7/1/12.  We will discuss volunteering at length at the upcoming General Membership Meeting (save the date!).  If you have a special interest or skill, please contact Susan Simonson to discuss how you can donate your time from home, on the phone, or via the internet.
