NO JULY ORDER
I guess too many people are on vacation this month. No order. Try again in August.

Next order July 21
Our next order will be delivered on Monday, July 21. Please have your order finalized by Wednesday evening, July 16.
Remember, if you want to SPLIT a case of something, please email the group.
Also, please email the coordinator if you want to order but need someone else to unload and save your order to be picked up later in the day.
If you haven't read these books, I highly recommend them (please email if you want to recommend books or resources on food, nutrition, the food industry, marketing, health, etc.) All these links open to the Wisconsin Digital Public Library. If you have a Wisconsin library card, you can download e- and audio-books free from this site (for a limited check out period). I use this site all the time and it is GREAT!

The Hidden Brain: How our Unconscious Minds Elect Presidents, Control Markets, Wage Wars, and Save Our Lives by Shankar Vedantam
Brandwashed: Tricks Companies Use to Manipulate our Minds and Persuade Us to Buy by Martin Lindstrom (especially of interest to parents - how brand affinity is established before your child is born).
And, speaking of brand affinity, if you purchase Eden brands, you may be interested in this blog post about Eden Foods and the SCOTUS Hobby Lobby decision.

June order!
Our June order will be delivered on Monday, June 23. Remember, our unloading location has changed. We're now unloading from the People's Food Co-op alleyway. This allows for better timing. Usually we start around 9 or 9:30 a.m. and are finished within 15 minutes. The coordinator will contact all those who ordered with details as supplied by UNFI.

Still ticking!
It's been a while since the last update! Our next order will be delivered in 2014. My hope for the new year is that we can add two to three new members who order regularly so we can get back our 6% discount! Have a happy new year.

September is coming!
Reminder: please finalize your order (delivery: Monday, September 17) by Wednesday evening, September 12. We were over $1,000 in August. We should be on track to retain our 6% discount on non-sale items. If we can bump up to $1,500 average, we'll get back to a 10% discount and special specials. Please refer new members!

Here's some interesting reading on what's happening with our future food supply. If you are so inclined, the comment period on approval of new chemical-resistant GMOs ends next Wednesday!
By the way, I may have some extra cukes, tomatoes and summer squash (depending upon weather).

August 20 order
We had over $1000 on our order this time. Yea!
Delivery time will PROBABLY be around 8 a.m. This is a new route, BUT the driver is
the same. As usual, I will contact all who ordered on Sunday when they call me with
a time and then I will try to confirm with the driver at least an hour ahead of time
on Monday.

Please seek new members - if we can get our group order up to $1,500 per month average, we'll bump up to the next discount level (10%) and be eligible for monthly special specials!
