The staff at Monadnock Food Co-op was thrilled to receive the 2014 Monadnock Green Business of the Year Award from Mayor Kendall Lane during the Monadnock Earth Festival last month. State Senator Molly Kelly spoke about the importance of this award and Pamela Slack delivered a letter of congratulations to the Co-op from US Senator Jeanne Shaheen. Thank you to our staff, Board of Directors, Member-Owners and shoppers for fueling our sustainability efforts.
While we're grateful to receive such an honor, we're determined to become an even more environmentally and socially responsible business in the future. Please stay tuned for more details about our triple bottom line efforts.
Just one other update: We'll be open our regular hours on Monday, Memorial Day (7am - 9pm). We hope to see you this weekend!

Brenna is glad to have the opportunity to share a nourishing soap formula with anyone interested in pursuing soap making as a hobby. The workshop will begin with a brief history of soap making, followed by the benefits of creating your own soap, how to select essential oils for aromatherapy, and a live demo of the soap making process. You'll receive instructions and a list of materials for making Brenna's soap recipe on your own. Soap created during the workshop demonstration can be mailed to interested participants after the curing process! Suggested Donation $10-15.

By Mary Veerkamp, Monadnock Food Co-op In my late 20s I was in a losing battle with chronic bronchitis. Granted, I was working in a casino at the time, but I still figured that there must be a way that I could get well without constantly taking antibiotics, steroids and codeine-laced cough syrup. Ambling through a bookstore (one of my very favorite pastimes), I browsed a copy of Spontaneous Healing by Dr. Andrew Weil. I bought that book, read it several times, and began changing my lifestyle, particularly the foods with which I nourished my body.

From the New England Farmers Union America's family farmers have been pioneers in co-operative development, with generations of advocates creating the legal statutes at the state level that have empowered rural communities to form producer co-ops, marketing co-ops, purchasing co-ops, food co-ops, credit unions, worker co-ops and utility co-ops. It is an amazing and often neglected story, in which the National Farmers Union (NFU) has played a key role, fighting for the basic national legislation that enabled producers to form co-ops and helping to organize countless co-operative businesses. True to this legacy, the Farmers Union has continued to defend the integrity of the co-operative model of enterprise at both the local and national level.

 Spring GreensFrom Stronger Together
The spring greens have arrived! How fitting that something so tender and fresh heralds the new growing season each year. They're appropriately delicate (like most valuables), delicious, and versatile. Put them on sandwiches or in frittatas. Toss an array of them together with a light vinaigrette (nothing too heavy), and season just enough to enhance their mildly sweet to mildly peppery taste. Be sure to treat yourself to a wide variety, too, from arugula to watercress!
