February Ag Collaborative Meeting
Get Caught Up On the Co-op: A Tour of the New Distribution Facility & Info Session
The La Montanita Co-op continues to expand and has recently moved in to a new Cooperative Distribution Center (CDC). Join us for a tour of the new facility with Michelle Franklin, the Co-op Distribution Center Manager. It's a fun way to get a peek inside how food is moved from places near and far to the shelves of their stores and other local businesses. Whether you're a grower looking for information about storage opportunities, a value added producer wanting insight about how to get your product on store shelves, or simply a curious consumer, your questions are welcome. Robin Seydel, Membership Coordinator, is also going to talk about the La Montanita Fund, a loan program for local farmers, ranchers and food producers. Co-op members can also invest in the Fund to help strengthen the loan program, and in turn our local economy. FREE and open to the public!
About the Coop: La Montanita Co-op is a community-owned, consumer cooperative with three locations in Albuquerque, one in Santa Fe, and one in Gallup. All stores offer fresh organic produce, bulk foods, local organic beef, lamb and other meats and cheeses, fair trade products and a wide variety of natural and organic groceries, freshly prepared deli foods, natural body care, vitamins and supplements. With over 1100 local products from approximately 400 local producers and 20% of total purchases and sales in local food, the Co-op is a leader in the local foods movement.
