Thanks to our vendors and we salute all of you bicycling commuters!

Co-op Quilt on Tour!

You may notice an awesome addition to our store décor! A beautiful quilt made from t-shirts of our sister co-ops all over the country. The quily tours from food co-op to food co-op, and we have it for just a few short weeks before it goes on to its next stop. So, come check it out! (Scroll to the end to read the story of the famous Food Co-op Quilt.)

Congratulations Class of 2010 from the produce department!

Congrats to all you graduates out there! If you have a graduate in your life and feel like giving them a littles something special, pick up some beautiful flowers from your produce department! We also have cut fruit and other convenient delicious items like mandarins and Wholly Guacamole pre-made guacamoles in three flavors that'll help put a little pomp into any circumstance.

What's Local in Produce

It's the beginning of our best local season, and we're already starting to feel the excitement. Currently we have blackberries from Oak Hills Farms in Poteet and blueberries from Vidor, both of which have been pretty tasty. We have organic zucchini and yellow squash from Martinez Farms in Pleasanton, and bibb lettuce from Amamdor farms. Soon we'll start to see some tomatoes and peaches coming in and that's when the fun begins.

Delicious Mangos

Both the Tommy Atkins (larger reddish ones) and the Atalufo (small yellow kidney shaped ones) mangos have been delicious the past few weeks. If you haven't picked some of these up, do it while they are this delicious!

Summer is Almost Here

Summertime really is one of our favorite times of year in the produce department. We've got plenty of berries right now, including organic strawberries, organic raspberries, organic blueberries and Texas blueberries, Texas blackberries and our in house mixed berry cups.

Melons are starting to come in, currently we have personal organic watermelons (complete with seeds fer spittin'), organic cantaloupes, and our mix melon cups.

We've got bi-colored organic corn for 89¢ and ear, and it is delicious raw, roasted, or boiled.

Stonefruit will be coming soon, so if you are missing nectarines or Texas peaches, they'll be here soon. CANNOT WAIT!

Deli = delicious!

Along with the weather warming up, the month of May has brought a whole new slew of cool Owner Specials and monthly treats for you to enjoy! Our new Salsa of the Month is the beautiful, veggie-laden Tomatillo Fire, boasting a trio of roasted peppers blended with tomatillos, tomatoes, onions, garlic, cilantro and cumin! Smoothie season is most certainly underway and our Smoothie of the Month is Blueberry Banana Dream, and is also an owner special at just $4.49, reg. $4.99. With an array of fruits plus tons of add-ins and extras from spirulina to cacao nibs, there is a smoothie for everyone – try a Banana Dream with peanut butter and chocolate syrup, or a Strawberry smoothie with rice milk and almond butter!

Want more of a pick me up while trying to stay cool? Try our amazing Iced Coffee Toddy, a 24 hour cold brewed burst of caffeineated deliciousness! Or maybe you prefer our Thai Iced Coffee, a perfect blend of dark coffee and milky sweetness? Not a coffee fan? We've got organic Iced Black Tea plus an abundance of herbal teas including Iced Hibiscus Mint! Also, our herby Iced Yerba Mate and spicy Iced Chai Tea are old school staff favorites!

Refrigerated Fun

It is Springtime and that means we have lots of Farm Fresh good things in the Dairy Cooler.  Perhaps the most egg-citing is the return of Alexander Family Farm and H&J Ranch eggs!  They are both now graded and in compliance with local laws and we have lots and lots of them!  A dozen of Alexander Family Farm Grade A Large eggs is $4.19.  H&J Ranch has Grade A Large eggs for $4.19/dozen and Grade A Medium eggs for $3.79 (these will be here this Friday).

We now carry Way Back When Dairy's Butter. This all-natural butter is unsalted and costs $4.39 for an 8 oz tub. This high quality butter is excellent for baking.

The Goat Milk shortage is over! Since it is springtime, there were eleven kids born last week over at Water Oak Farm, supplier of our local goat milk and ice cream.  New kids means lots of milk for everyone!  Goat's milk is naturally homogenized and may be easy on those with an intolerance for the protein found in cow's milk.  A half gallon of milk is $7.19, a quart is just $3.99.

And did you know that Brown Cow low-fat and whole milk yogurt cups (6oz) are on sale this month for just 69 cents?

Co-op Quilt:  Our Movement's Living History

by Patricia Cumbie

 

Ann Hoyt never envisioned that the stash of co-op t-shirts languishing in her dresser drawer had the potential to raise thousands of dollars, or be a catalyst for cooperation around the country.  As a director of the Urban Cooperative Initiative in Madison, WI she'd acquired quite a few of them on her travels around the country.

 

In the spring of 1997 Hoyt was searching for something to auction as a co-op education fundraiser.  The Howard Bowers Fund had been in existence for 5 years and her fundraising methods were getting "tired" Hoyt explained.  Someone suggested she make a quilt out of all the co-op t-shirts she'd gathered over the years, and auction that at the annual Consumer Co-op Managers Conference (CCMA).

 

"I didn't have time to sew, and I lack design sense," said Hoyt.  Undaunted, she enlisted the help of a few women she knew.  Anne Hopkins, a quilter who is manager of Good Food Co-op in Lexington, KY flew in to Madison, where Hoyt lives, to sew the quilt.  The quilt's designer is Anya Firszt, general manager of Willy St. Co-op in Madison.  The three of them spent four days sewing and putting it together.

 

"It was a wonderful experience.  We laughed, told co-op stories.  My husband fed us and a few friends stopped by to help," said Hoyt.  However, they did not totally complete the quilt those four days.  Keiko Sakuma-Neubauer from Kokua Country Foods Co-op in Honolulu hemmed the binding, finishing the quilt the night before the first auction in 1999.

 

Naturally, this quilt bearing the t-shirt logos of 54 co-ops caused a sensation the night it was unveiled.  From the reaction of the crowd, the quilt's creators knew they had a piece of living history that had to be shared.  "We knew this would be a nice thing to share, not kept in some stale lobby somewhere," said Anya Firszt. Auctioning the quilt for the privilege of displaying it, has given rise to the quilt traveling the country, shown at a number of food co-ops along the way.

 

"When I watch people look at the quilt, they look carefully to see what is in it, what they remember about co-ops.  I have stories for each of those t-shirts," Hoyt said.  One particular square on that quilt came about as a suggestion from Hoyt.  She had visited the Brattleboro Food Co-op in Vermont and saw a huge mobile of origami Peace Cranes they had erected one year.  "I was astounded, it was beautiful, marvelous," Hoyt said.  She suggested they make a t-shirt to commemorate the art.  They did, and it's on the quilt in the lower right-hand corner.

 

The quilt also has its own ironic legend.  "I've had so many people ask me, 'Anya, how could you work on the quilt and not even have your own store in it?" said Firszt.  Willy St. Co-op was not left out for long though, as two more "co-op quilts" were added to the auction and co-op circuit when Davis Food Co-op made one and then Hyde Park Co-op made a quilt in honor of the 70th Anniversary of their beginning in 1932.

 

In four years, the quilts have raised a total of nearly $38,000 for the Howard Bowers Fund, a co-op education endowment. They have also become an object of pride within the new-wave cooperative movement.

Mother's Day Breakfast in bed
Mom's love wine and other yumminess
Coffee grinders!
Manchego go!
Deli May I?

We love our moms and we can help you show your love to yours, too!
Mother's Day Flowers
We'll have an abundance of flowers on special starting Thursday and running through the weekend. Treat your mother, or future mom's to a special treat with our beautiful flowers! Several styles available, in two sizes! We'll have them right next to the chocolate and the wine!

Moms work hard, so give the Mom in your life a break from breakfast! Let her sleep late and wow her with a fabulous breakfast in bed!

Here are some options throughout the store that you might whip up!

In the deli:
With a quick reheat, our incredible Broccoli & Cheddar or Bacon Florentine Quiches are an easy, economical and absolutely delicious way to feed the whole family! Pick up some champagne and orange juice for Mimosas to help Mom wake up on the right side of the bed, and your mother will know she's in for a wonderful day!

From Cheese Island:
Gruyere, mushrooms and caramelized onions would make a wonderful omelet. 
Looking for something lighter? Cream cheese and a bagel topped with a fresh berry medley from our produce department.
We also have a variety of Bries ranging from robust, to creamy and buttery.

Refrigerated:
We've got some exciting new products and old favorites in the Refrigerated Department to help you make Mom's breakfast special!

The Immaculate Baking Company's Buttermilk Biscuits, Blueberry or Cranberry Orange Scones ($3.89) and Cinnamon Rolls ($3.99) are super yummy and quick and easy to prepare, even dads can do it!
If you are looking for something even easier to whip up, try Batter Blaster ($4.99).  That's right, this  is pancake batter in a can.  All you have to do is squirt the desired amount on a pre-heated griddle and flip it once.  Clean-up is a snap-simply rinse the nozzle under warm water.  This product is creating quite a buzz around the dairy cooler and I hope you will give it a try.  I love them!  They are a little sweeter than your typical pancake mix and they are Organic!
For an impressive and healthy dish, try layering fresh fruit and the yogurt of your choice in a glass bowl (this is great for little ones to do!).

For a savory companion to all this sweetness, try Yves Breakfast Sausage Patties ($3.59) or Field Roast Sausage (I like  the Smoked Apple Sage $4.99).
Don't forget the Juice!  Organic Valley Orange juice is $5.99 for a half gallon.  We also have Good Belly's Probiotic Juice in Mango and Blueberry flavors, on sale for just $2.99 this month.
 
After Breakfast, delight your mom with Wine
This mother's day treat your mother like a queen with Peter Lehmann of the Barossa Shiraz regularly $16.99 now only $12.99! The wine has a deep centre with a dark red rim. The bouquet shows lashings of classical Barossa Shiraz chocolate and dark plum aromas, given a gentle lift from the well seasoned French oak notes. It is a robustly structured wine, with mouth-filling generous fruit.

The Deli has got you covered for the rest of the day, too! Our bakers are busy at work making gorgeous Heart-Shaped Strawberry Shortcakes, sweet-tart Lemon Bars and soft, tender Buttermilk Cookies for you to bring Mom as a springtime treat on her special day! 
Also, for Mother's Day the hot bar will be brimming with springtime favorites like our Spinach and Mushroom Frittata, Holiday Ham with Apple Jus, Coconut Mashed Sweet Potatoes, Organic Roasted Carrots and so much more to make eating a pleasure, keeping you out of the kitchen and enjoying the sunshine! A delicious meal from your co-op without all the hassle of a restaurant!

In The Grocery Aisle
 
Divine White Chocolate with Strawberries:
 
It's about time somebody came up with the idea to add strawberries to white chocolate. This combination is undeniably great, and it comes from a great company that is 45% farmer owned. Divine Chocolate is a fine example of a company with true fair trade practices. This particular chocolate bar is exceptionally smooth with the unmistakable flavor of real strawberries, and it's here just in time for Mother's Day. http://www.divinechocolate.com Justin Merrifield, Grocery Buyer

Meat

Here is a sure fire way to make it her special day with a meal prepared with your heart and soul.  Since you can't really skimp on the meal may we suggest a Niman ranch Center Cut Tenderloin steak $21.99 lb. It's a guaranteed tender and juicy steak any way you cook it. It's also a smaller portion than our larger steaks so it's suitable for a quick brunch, that isn't too heavy. Serve with fresh grilled asparagus and puree of cauliflower as a suggestion. Or serve the steak on a bed of upland cress, or any micro-green for that bistro look, alongside fresh gazpacho (can be purchased in deli) and nice sautéed green. Whatever you make, your mom is bound to be delighted cause it's made with love from the soul.

Happy Mother's Day!

Don't forget the Manchego!
We still have the delicious Manchego on sale till the end of the month for $13.69/lb., regularly $16.99/lb.

In Bulk, NEW coffee grinders to serve you better!

The deli has the goods you want!
In addition to our Mother's Day specials, the month of May brings a whole new slew of Owner Specials, Fresh in the Deli recipes and more for you to enjoy! Starting Saturday May 1st, our new Salsa of the Month for May is the veggie-laden Tomatillo Fire, boasting a trio of roasted peppers blended with tomatillos, tomatoes, onions, garlic, cilantro and cumin! Smoothie season is underway and our Smoothie of the Month is Blueberry Banana Dream, and is also an owner special at just $4.49, reg. $4.99. Our other two owner specials are for some of your Deli's most popular items: the infamously delicious Popcorn Tofu Po'Boy at $5.99, reg. $6.49, and our classic self-serve Chicken Salad made with local Buddy's all-natural white meat chicken at $8.99/lb, reg. $9.99!
