Hello! My name is Elizabeth and I am looking for others to join me in promoting the Cedar Falls Food Co-op this summer at our local farmers markets! It’s a great (and fun) way to meet many supporters, share our progress, and recruit members!!
Join in June for a chance to win a sweet ride!
The number of founding members keeps growing, propelling the Cedar Falls Food Co-op closer to opening its doors. Remember, the sooner we get 1,000 members, the sooner we can have an actual store to shop. We know the interest is out there and that the Food Co-op will soon be open. The board of directors is committed to getting us to our goal as quickly as possible, so they’re offering a fun incentive to all new members who join in June…

Summer Safety Tips
It’s time to grab the sunscreen and bug spray! Here are some safety tips to make sure nothing stops you from enjoying your summer to the fullest.
June is the Month to Join
This month’s local business partners have stepped up to offer some hot, sweet & awesome deals to newly joining members of the Cedar Falls Food Co-op. If you’ve been on the fence about whether or not to join, the time is now.
From the Board President: Locally Owned and Democratically Controlled
Two recent stories in the Courier have got me thinking more about our cooperative model. To me, they reinforce the value of local ownership. Too often we’re at the mercy of executives or shareholders who live outside our area.
Banana Bread Recipe
Banana Bread
This recipe uses much less sugar than conventional recipes. We used stevia as a replacement for most of the sugar, but it’s still sweet and delicious! Remember when using stevia, it’s twice as sweet so you only need half as much.
Get Moving in May
May is the month where spring seems to finally have a strong grasp on the weather and nature is confident enough to start growing in earnest. May is also National Bike Month, an initiative created by the League of American Cyclists in 1956, to encourage people to get back on their bikes. National Bike Month events happen all across the country, providing educational and recreational opportunities to help people choose bicycling as a hobby and as a mode of transportation. Two events in particular occur simultaneously across the nation; Bike to Work Week, held on May 11-15, and National Bike to Work Day, on May 15.
MAY WE SHARE THE LOVE WITH YOU?
Yes, of course we may and we ARE! Just like every month, it’s a fabulous month to be a Cedar Falls Food Co-op member!
During the month of May member-owners who show their co-op membership card will receive 10% off an order plus a free small cup of coffee at Cottonwood Canyon Coffee located at 218 E 4th St in Waterloo. So generous & we’re feeling the love this spring!
