Even with snow still on the ground, it’s not too early to start thinking about getting our gardens ready for spring.
As February slowly fades to March, home gardeners start eyeing seed catalogues and dreaming about spending hours tending to their plots. While we still may not be able to dig in, it’s not too early to start planning and prepping for a successful growing season. If you are planning a garden for the first time, there are some simple steps to get you started.
February is almost here, believe it or not. To celebrate, we are dubbing it Love Your Co-op Month. If you become a founding member-owner of the Cedar Falls Food Co-op with a full household membership during the month of February, we will send you a coupon for a free cupcake* from our featured business of the month, Scratch Cupcakery.
The number of wonderful people who have joined the effort to launch the Cedar Falls Food Co-op grew last week by twelve. They have laptops. They call home places like Boone, Minneapolis, and even Hong Kong. And they like to wear orange. We’re talking, of course, about Wartburg students. Kim Folkers, an Associate Professor of Marketing at Wartburg College, invited the Cedar Falls Food Co-op to be a client of the students as they assemble and integrated marketing communications strategy for area start up businesses.
With the new website, the Cedar Falls Food Co-op is excited to announce the addition of a blog. This new feature will give us another avenue to share the news about the Co-op and our goal to open the doors! We’ll start this off by asking for your feedback. Tell us what you want to read about in the Co-op blog!
