Be in Charge of Your Food at the South Austin Food Co-Op
Have you ever wanted to be the boss at your grocery store? Well now's your chance.South Austin is about to get it's very own food co-op where the members own the grocery store and make the decisions about how it is operated. You may be familiar with food co-ops from shopping at Wheatsville in the University area, a staple in the sustainable and healthy food in Austin for over 30 years. The volunteers at the South Austin Food Co-op are bringing that same dedication to healthy, organic, local food to South Austin and they want your help. You can choose your level of involvement from attending one of their upcoming events to joining the co-op. Here are just a few of the upcoming opportunities to learn more about the South Austin Food Co-op: If you have questions about how the co-op is organized, you can visit with the volunteers on Saturdays from 9 am to 1 pm at the SFC Farmers Market at Sunset Valley.
Sunday, April 11th from 7 to 9 pm they are hosting an information session for potential volunteers and board members at Matt's El Rancho (2613 S. Lamar). RSVP to reserve your spot. Saturday, April 17th, 6-9 pm at Marigold-Gateway to India (2200 S. Lamar) join Resolution Gardens, The South Austin Food Co-op and Slow Food Austin for a local pot-luck feast. Admission is a dish to share made with ingredients from a local grocer or farmer, your neighbor, or your own backyard! We'll have fabulous door prizes from local businesses, a silent auction to benefit South Austin Food Co-op, live music and a chance to share the local food love! A special prize will be awarded for the "most local" dish. Be sure to bring a description to put next to your dish so every one will know just how delicious it is. This event will be outdoors, weather permitting. RSVPs are appreciated but not required. If you'd rather participate online, the Co-op is asking us to complete their survey so that they have good research about the needs of our community. While you're online, why not go ahead and join. You can admit it - you like being the boss!
