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.
