Linden Hills Co-op will serve as a pick-up site for folks who have shares in selected community supported agriculture farms this summer. Buying a CSA share is a great way to get locally grown, fresh food for your family and support local farms at the same time—it’s truly a win-win situation!

Want to know who grew your bananas? Equal Exchange, Oke Bananas and your co-op can tell you that! Check the display in the produce aisle, and then visit Equal Exchange’s Beyond the Peel website. We hear there’ll be grower profiles sometime soon, too!

Did you know more avocados are sold in American around the SuperBowl than any other time of year? Whether you’re a sports fan or not, January’s a great time to make a big batch of guacamole. Pick up recipes and all the ingredients at the co-op today. Or check the recipe section for guac and other delights!

Yes—you CAN find great values on organic produce at your local co-op. For just one example, the price of organic Fair Trade bananas has not increased in more than three years. They’re still under a dollar a pound, every day. The reason? In part, it’s due to the Fair Trade premium paid to growers! The payment of a Fair Trade premium smooths out the market highs and lows, so that banana farmers and their families may have a more predictable income, and so YOU can enjoy a fair price on bananas, every day.

Now that winter’s here, it’s citrus season!
