Once AgainTuesday, 02 June 2009 | Kenna S. Eaton, General Manager The health inspector for Latah County came by the other day, which she does on a regular basis. And once again, we got a high rating for cleanliness, which didn’t surprise me but is still good to know. However, this time her eye lit upon our glass recycling program. Not the new one, where you pay a deposit for a sterilized container that we fill with deli food for you to take... Read More

The Front End NewsTuesday, 02 June 2009 | Annie Hubble, Front End Manager If someone were to ask me to name the best deal in the Co-op, even after thinking of the wonderful fresh produce, the delectable deli items, freshly baked bread, incredible selection in the grocery department, the supplements and gifts, and health and beauty products, I would still have to reply membership itself. For a mere $10 a year (we are, I think, still the cheapest co-op membership in... Read More

June marks the fourth month of The Good Food Film Series. On Thursday, June 18, at 7 p.m., the Co-op will sponsor the film “HomeGrown” at the Kenworthy Performing Arts Center in downtown Moscow.
The Co-op is proud to participate once again in Moscow's Art Walk. Businesses all over town will be hosting local artists. The opening night reception at the Co-op is from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Friday, June 12.
Longer days, more sunshine, blooms and birdsong — all reasons to celebrate the innate joy of summer. So make a joyful noise! Express yourself! One reason we love the Moscow Food Co-op is the opportunity for each member to express herself (or himself) in a unique way that will better the community. Some members hold creative space for kids, some members teach about medicinal plants, some write newsletter articles about their interests. We organize the Tuesday Night Music Series, which channels the unique expressions of regional musicians into our very own Co-op for our entertainment. Come on out to the Co-op Tuesday nights from 5 to 7 p.m. in June and join us for all the joyful noises emanating from the parking lot: growers’ marketeers relishing fresh veggies, bbq sizzling on the grill, and MUSIC!
June Co-op Kids! Co-op Kids! is a twice monthly activity for families in the Moscow-Pullman area. Our activities are free and all are welcome. This month we will meet at Friendship Square and the Co-op Cafe, so please stop by and introduce yourself.
We are trying something new with our Hot Bar- no menu!
Look for a more diverse selection of hot foods for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
We will still make the old favorites like Pizza and Smothered Burritos, but you will see lots more. If there is something in particular you would love for us to make, please let us know! And please don't hesitate to let us know how you like the change.
