President’s Message
Springtime in the desert means the Co-op is rockin’ and rollin’, now more than ever! Farm fields and fruit trees are in full burst! And our Co-op staff and volunteers are going full tilt. A January grant from Pinnacle Prevention means our Farm Raiser sites – Clark Park Community Garden, Concordia, Metro Tech and Rover Farm Fresh – can add signage, coolers, technology. They can also offer food demos and tastings using produce from the farm bags, by some of the valley’s premier chefs. The grant will help expand participation in the program by low-income households, who can use their SNAP / EBT, and Double Up Food Bucks benefits to stretch their food dollars while bringing fresh and healthful local produce to their tables. It will also allow Sun to implement an e-commerce platform to streamline ordering, pick-up, and delivery of products from the Co-op’s network of farms to its customers. Plus – hire a part-time assistant for Anita, our lovely Logistics Coordinator.
