Based on member feedback received earlier this year, we are moving forward with the new weekly Tuesday market schedule starting Tuesday, August 27th. Yes, the market will be open every Tuesday evening from 4:30-8 PM. With this new schedule, we will be able to:
· Provide members a more convenient schedule to get their weekly shopping done at the co-op
· Increase opportunities for members to engage with other members of the co-op community
· Support the financial and social health of the co-op
But we need you, our co-op members, to shop during our new weekly Tuesday schedule, and of course, to volunteer! As an all-volunteer run business, we rely on our members to run the co-op. You can find a new SignUp Genius here to get started. In the first few weeks, it’ll be particularly important to ensure a robust roster of volunteers as we make the shift to a weekly market schedule. Take a look at the SignUp Genius and come volunteer, it’s pretty fun!
A brief explanation of how it will work:
1. You’ll be able to pick up your Frontier and Foodclub pre-orders at our first weekly market on Tuesday, August 27th. Moving forward, you can expect to pick up your pre-orders every other Tuesday market, with the next days being September 10 and September 24. Don’t worry, we’ll update the co-op calendar so you don’t have to remember!
2. We’ll also have fresh produce available every other Tuesday on the same day as you pick up your pre-ordered items.
3. On alternate weeks, starting September 3rd, we will be open again from 4:30-8 PM and have what we’re calling more sturdy produce available. This could include potatoes, onions, garlic, apples, pears, squash, etc.
You've asked for a more regular shopping experience, and here's our chance to grant your wish! But we MUST have volunteers signed up. Please click this link today to sign up for one or more shifts: Volunteer Signups.
We can’t wait to see you every Tuesday evening starting August 27th!
