Our Investment Drive is doing extremely well and many of your co-op friends have invested in their co-op to the tune of more than $300,000! This was raised in just three weeks!!! Thanks to all who have invested and if you're interested, please contact Dan or Maria at 478-2667 for more info, or look at the information on-line at http://www.wheatsville.coop/invest.html

In the store:

A member called me today and told me that they were enjoying the tiny apples that we had in produce. She said that they were sharing them in her daughter's kindergarten class and the kids were ecstatic because they could eat a WHOLE apple! These apples are really cute!

The deli has begun offering some delicious fall offerings that you might want to check out! The Poached Pears look divine and the roasted carrots and roasted parsnips are hearty and delicious! 

Bryan in the meat department is taking pre-orders on Organic and Natural Mary's turkeys. pre-order your turkey now to be assured of the right size for Thanksgiving!

Also, check out Wheatsville's Own sausages!

I hope you are all enjoying this "cold" snap!

Yay for Fall!

Have a great week!
