In September of 2010, CNFC will be participating in Eat Local, America! ELA is a national campaign sponsored by our mother co-op, the NCGA (National Cooperative Grocers Association). The month-long event, specific to natural food co-ops, aims to celebrate local farmers/producers while encouraging consumers to eat local. We here at CNFC are SO excited about this promotion and hope you are too! Please keep an eye out for updates as summer progresses. Also, I am currently looking for 3-5 dedicated Working-Members to serve on a committee which will plan and execute the event. This includes selecting local farmer/producer spokespeople, creating events and workshops, and whatever else we come up with! If you are interested in serving the Co-op in this way, please e-mail volunteer@chiconatural.com! Also, check out the ELA website here!
