Cordova Towne Co-Op:

There are so many of us throughout the neighborhood who grow fruit, vegetables and spices. Some of us might have elaborate gardens, others might have one tree, and still some are on the brink of trying a garden for the first time. In light of that, we thought it would be fun and creative to establish a neighborhood co-op.

 
     
  The Cordova Towne Co-Op helps us do the following as a neighborhood: rrr  
     
  1. Trade food.  
  2. Save money at the store due to rising food and gas costs.  
  3. Avoid pesticides on store-bought produce.  
  4. Get to know residents.  
  5. Encourage gardening.  
  6. Make sure what we grow does not fall to the ground in waste.  
  7. Have organic food gatherings.  
  8. Help out local families from time to time.   
 
 
 

The Cordova Towne Co-Op consists of a group of residents who are growing legal produce throughout the neighborhood. The gist is that Co-Op members grow food, trade occasionally, resource each other with tips on gardening, and get together every now and then for organic food potlucks.   If this sounds interesting to you or if you have fruit or vegetables falling to the ground in waste, please consider getting involved and/or donating your produce to local families. 

   
     
 

On July 12th (6-9pm) we will be having a Co-Op potluck (location TBA).  We will make dishes of food to share with each other based upon what we are growing in our gardens. This will be a fun and creative way to eat healthy foods that are grown right in the neighborhood and to build relationship with other residents.  This meal is not open to the entire community but rather to Co-Op members (but anyone can join the Co-Op).

 
     
 

Remember, you can be a rookie at gardening. You do not have to be experienced.  In fact, if you are a newbie, then we will gladly give you tips to be successful.  Please fill out the following form to let us know you'd like to get involved, for questions, or any comments.
