Food Co-op Well On It's Way

This afternoon, the Sierra Vista Natural Foods Cooperative had a good turn-out of about forty co-op members for their potluck lunch. President Kevin Peterson presented the co-op's vision, progress, and development plan; then guest speaker, Food Co-op 500 cooperative development specialist Stuart Reid of Minnesota, talked with the group about the importance of food co-ops in building community. The co-op recently passed the 300-member milestone and also received a $25,000 loan from the Food Co-op 500. Thanks to co-op board member Helen Patterson for planning the event and to all the attendees who brought wonderful food. To read the Sierra Vista Herald article, click here.
