Having been at the store now for almost one month I marvel at the vast amount of product knowledge held by our members. It seems each day I talk with someone new about the benefits or detriments of a product. As I began to realize how useful this information is and how impossible it is for all of the important information concerning food to be properly shared in the store, I had the idea of creating this blog as a forum for members to share knowledge and resources regarding ingredients, food safety, recipes, news and other related topics.
The Yelm Food Coop is the platform for educating the community, to allow us to make informed decisions about the foods and other products we use in our daily lives. By leveraging the knowledge of our members we can build a strong, local, healthy food system in our community for ourselves and our future.
I look forward to sharing information on this site and in the store!

You're right Aaron, this can be a great forum for information sharing.
ReplyDeleteOur members have always had an incredible wealth of knowledge and were always willing to share when asked.
Hopefully, this blog catches on and the wealth will be shared even further.
