Welcome Spring! A time for renewal!
Longer days, warmer temperatures, purple crocus blooming in the garden and….new offerings at our Co-op!
Have you noticed the new smoothie menu in the cafe? I have sampled 2 so far and I highly recommend the Pineapple Paradise (it’s cool and refreshing, healthy and tasty!) and the Banana Split (it’s simply deeeeelish! A total treat!). I’m looking forward to trying out the new sandwich menu too!
Check out the new house made salad dressing and flavored cream cheese (scallion is a favorite!) in the refrigerated case across from the hot bar, all made fresh in our kitchen.
Take the night off from cooking and bring home the new Berkshire Food Co-op Meal Kits. They’re thoughtfully assembled kits you can take home for easy cooking without too many steps. Enough to feed at least 4 for just $29.99!
Or check out the Hot Bar for dinner! Pack up a container of freshly made soup, serve with a salad and voila, an easy dinner is served!
Looking forward, this is what we have coming down the road:
Produce Manager Mark shared that spring and summer will bring in more locally grown produce than ever. When the sun shines, look for produce bins outside creating a farmer’s market vibe! You can also sense a case of spring fever as he pointed out the new High Mowing seed display that greets you at the door! Ready-set-plant!
Wait! There’s more! In the next couple of weeks, the bulk department will be getting a refresh with the addition of more personal and home products. You will have more choices for reusable containers so we can all make a difference helping to reduce plastic and individual packaging.
And finally from the Board room:
The Board of Directors has been busy working together to help our GM, Jessica, navigate the challenges of a small business, ever increasing food costs, staffing shortages, how to best engage with our 5,500+ Owners and all shoppers, etc. We want to make the Co-op your place to shop!
Don’t hesitate to reach out and let us know how we can better serve you!
Thank you for shopping, and see you in the aisles!
