Don’t forget about the Co-op as you think about gift giving this year. Order your custom made Co-op gear through The Rooted Carrot Swag Store.
In the coming days new merchandise will be added to the online store including a winter beanie and long-sleeve t-shirts made with the same soft cotton that has made Rooted Carrot Co-op t-shirts so popular. Show your support by sporting your new gear and sharing with others who support the Co-op.
Just a reminder – to guarantee items before the holidays, please be sure to order by November 30. Some items may be available after that date, but our hosts at Iowa Sports Supply, who maintain the online store, will not be able to guarantee all items after that date.
Of course, the gift of membership to the Co-op is also a generous and appreciated gift. Visit the membership page on the website for more information on how you can give the gift of membership. Or write to membership@rootedcarrot.coop with any questions.
Give the gift of the Co-op this year and share your support with your community!
Our volunteer team is growing!!
Welcome new board members Tom Blanford & Dave Schachterle! And welcome back to Jodie Huegegrich who is returning for a second term on the board.
When you give a Co-op Membership, you invest in something that will have a long-term positive impact on our community. AND each time the recipient visits one of our Community Partners, they will be reminded of your generous gift! It truly is a gift that keeps on giving!
Everyone knows the saying “Many hands make light work!” Currently we have a small handful of Rooted Carrot volunteers doing a lot of work to keep the effort of bringing the Rooted Carrot Co-op Market to our community. Please continue to read this article to see how you can get involved. You don’t have to be a member to volunteer. You don’t have to spend hours each month. You can choose to be on a committee and/or volunteer for weekly or monthly tasks that are needed to make the Co-op successful. 
Board Applications are due October 9th at midnight! 
Join your Co-op friends on September 12th from 6-8 p.m. for a 90-minute kayak trip on the Cedar River – starting at the Canfield Access in George Wyth Park; ending at the Exchange Park Boat House in Waterloo. Expertly guided by Crawdaddy Outdoors, who also provides equipment rental for $20*. If you are renting, we’ll meet at 6 p.m. at the pullout location (Boat House) to shuttle you to the launch location. *Those bringing their own kayaks are responsible for shuttling them as needed – please be at the launch before 6:30 p.m.
