It's Local Season!

When I walk into work everyday I enter through the produce section. Today we had local cherries, blueberries, raspberries and black raspberries. Not to mention local organic chard, lettuce, peas in a pod, yellow green beans, and well, it goes on. :D






























We're the 17th busiest natural and organic food's co-op in the country. \o/

I work in the batcave upstairs in charge of all our bi-weekly sales, entering all products into the system, and analyzing all our costs and margins from all our vendors and local farmers. And sometimes I daydream about fanfic :-P

God that all looks so good. Organic food around here is so pricey I rarely buy :(

That's the frustrating thing.

One of the goals of a co-op is to make organics affordable, maybe there's one in your area?

I'll have to check. So far things like farmer's markets, etc. aren't cheap.
