Lucky you! Here's your monthly news from the Cortes Food Co-op!


Welcome to October's e-News!

Harvest Heaven is Now!

The month of Thanksgiving and Halloween, of cool mornings and brisk evenings has arrived. The predictability of change, of cycles, is something we can take comfort in, although Rachel Carson said this most beautifully: "There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature — the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter." We had drought and now we have dew. We had bathing suits and flip flops, and now we have wool and gum boots. 

Eat well, share plenty and laugh a lot! 
From all of us at the Co-op
