🍎It’s Time to Vote!!🍎

What’s more democratic than voting for your Board of Directors? As a co-op member, you have the power to choose who is in the coop’s court presiding over your beloved store.

But what exactly are you casting your vote for? What are they going to be doing once they’re elected?

Well, I’m so glad you asked! Your board is responsible for:
-ensuring that the co-op is doing well and is financially secure
-generating new ideas for the co-op
-planning the future of the co-op

They also oversee that the UVFC is in accordance with our mission to being central to a resilient and connected Upper Valley community. This means that because of all that we do, our community will have access to:
-healthful, affordable food
-a supportive market for local farmers and producers
-education and resources for sustainable, healthful practices
-a place for community connection

Pretty important stuff, right? Your vote determines the future of our coop! So, cast your vote today! (Or anytime between now and November 6th)

The ballots have been mailed so be sure to check your mailboxes! You can also vote online by following the link in our bio. (If you choose to submit an electronic vote, please do not submit a paper ballot.)

All votes must be submitted by end of day Friday, November 6th. Then, when we all gather and celebrate our 50th year together on November 7th, we can announce who your new Board of Directors will be!

If you have any questions, please email Andie at [email protected]. They will help you out!

🍎 At the Coop! 🍎

Have you seen these cute honeynut squashes? They are a butternut winter squash cultivar with a thin, edible skin and are perfect for preparing single servings of squash (or more!) True to their namesake, they are sweeter than their butternut counterparts and are a good source of vitamin A, vitamin B, potassium, and calcium. Honeynut’s natural sweetness has a rich, caramel-y, malty flavor that really shines when they’re roasted at high heat.
Bake them, stuff them, boil, braise or mash them- this squash is suitable for most recipes that call for butternut or winter squash.

Grown by Deep Meadow Farm in Ascutney, VT, these cuties are certified organic and can be found on the Squash Tower in our produce section.

Give ‘em a try today!

🍎At the Coop!🍎

We had a fun-packed week last week at the coop!

We heard from renowned climate advocate, Dr. Sailesh Rao, founder of Climate Healers and author of There Is A Planet B. Over a meal of soup and salad, Dr. Rao led a discussion on how plant-based eating benefits the health of our planet while also benefiting personal health and animal welfare.
Some key takeaways:
🌱When you don’t talk about food, you’re missing the biggest layer to climate change discussions.
🌱We will not begin to restore biodiversity until we start treating every other life as our bosses- they are our guiding forces to rebuilding a planet with responsibility-based living.
🌱We have to collaboratively design for world peace and planetary health.

Attendees left feeling inspired and motivated to continue gathering in order to support the work of the Plant-Based Eaters Initiative here in the Upper Valley ☮️🌱

We also had a lovely First Friday in collaboration with White River Jumpin! DJSUN was set up in our outdoor patio area and, even in the rain, brought the sun to our store! Their tunes brightened the evening and we truly enjoyed being part of this awesome community event. Shout out to Wayne for organizing and making WRJ a lively scene! 🎶

🍎Out of the Coop🍎

We had a blast tabling for 🌟Fermentation Celebration🌟 at Root 5 Farm! The rainy weather didn’t dampen anyone’s mood as community members gathered to celebrate all things fermented. From kombucha to kimchi, hot soup and natural “gatorade”, this was an event we felt right at home at!
Huge thank you to Danielle and Ben (and their team) for another wonderful year of celebrating the wonders of fermentation 🥒🌶️🥬🥕🫜

You can find Root 5 Farm’s Power Kraut line at the coop! Navigate back towards the cheese cave and check the cooler with the dairy-free cheeses. You’ll see ‘em lined up and ready to grab for your enjoyment! 😉
