Just Food Co-op

Did you read about the Rural Enterprise Center‘s One Big Thing campaign in the ComPost? Would you like to help support newly-trained agripreneurs? You can make a donation here.

What is your first memory of Just Food Co-op?

Were you part of the team that first envisioned a natural foods co-op in Northfield? Did you attend our member preview the night before we opened the store? Has Just Food been in Northfield as long as you have? No matter how far back you can remember Just Food, it’s thanks to your support that we’ve now been in business for seven years.

This Thursday, join us in celebrating Just Food Co-op’s 7th anniversary! Board members will be on hand serving up free slices of birthday cake from 4-6 p.m. at the front of the store.

You can download the December Owner Specials Flyer, full of great prices just for owners, by clicking on the left hand image above. Copies are also available in the store. And don’t forget that you can place a case order at the Customer Service desk and get an extra 10% off.

Not an owner yet? Don’t worry! There are plenty of sale items for everyone in our Co+op Deals flyer, which usually comes out every two weeks. You can download a pdf of the current flyer, which is good through December 13, by clicking on the right hand image above. Owners who order a case of something currently on Co+op Deals by December 8 will get an additional 10% off, and non-owners get a case discount of 5%.

Value. Find it at your friendly, locally-owned Co-op.

Special Order Deadline: December 8. Place your case order at the Customer Service Desk.

On Wednesday night the house of Regi and Amy Haslett-Marroquin burned to the ground. They got out just in time, but lost all of their possessions. Regi is the Director of the Rural Enterprise Center which helps Latino families to become agripreneurs. Amy is a teacher at Prairie Creek Community School. The family also runs Finca Marisol which raises sustainable poultry using innovative methods. They have three children ages 16, 13 and 8.

You can help the Haslett-Marroquins in this time of need. At Just Food Co-op we are accepting cash donations at the registers, which will be used to purchase an ongoing stream of Co-op gift cards for the family.

There are many other opportunities being set up to help throughout the community. A support fund is being established at First National Bank of Northfield. For more information or to contribute, please contact Rick Estenson at 507-645-5656.

There are also two websites that have been created to assist with other things. One is for meals and clothing, and the other is a Facebook page set up by the students at ARTech to organize fundraisers. Feel free to join or check out either of these links:

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Just Food Co-op.

Just Food will be closed on Thursday, November 24, but we will be open regular hours the rest of the week.

If you would like a fresh turkey this Thanksgiving, be sure you pre-order it at the Customer Service Desk or with your cashier by November 13. Heritage Turkeys will be $4.99/lb and Standard Whites will be $2.69/lb. All of our fresh birds are locally grown. Turkey Pickup will be Tuesday, November 22 from 4-7 p.m.
