Co-op she-bop she-bang

Erin and I have joined the West Michigan Co-Op at the recommendation of Ryan and Kolene, Grand Rapids friends we met through Twitter. The Co-Op allows us to buy produce and other farm products direct from local producers. We picked up our first month's order on Wednesday.



So far I've been very satisfied with the quality of the fare, and buying locally is definitely better in quality and sustainability.

We saw no less than 6 people we know there, including Jessica's mother, who sold us some delicious apples!



Steven Depolo (also from Twitter) was there taking photos for the Revue:



It's definitely a community organization. I like that. The food is excellent too, so if you're interested in freshness and supporting local growers and farmers, take a look at the website and think about joining.
