Dear Co-op Customers and Co-owners,
Thank you to everyone who gave us positive feedback on our last newsletter. Not only have we started printing our newsletter, we have decided to offer a quarterly newsletter. Our intention is to offer a newsletter full of relevant and compelling pieces.
Our new Food for Thought segment has been well received and we plan to include recipes and other exciting additions. Please let us know what you'd like to see in the new publication - we'd love to hear from you!
In cooperation,

The Co-op is fortunate to have three local organic farmers on our board who help bring our attention to current food issues. It’s an important part of our mission to provide education on health, food, and sustainability and to share the potential impacts on our members and our community. In our “Food For Thought” series we will continue to explore topics we think are important to you. If you have any thoughts or ideas on future topics please feel free to contact us at: board@placervillefood.coop

"Always helpful. Great personality and work ethic."
"Amazing! Amazing customer service skills! Hard worker! So glad we have her!"
