Organic Fruits and Veggies: Store-Bought vs. Home-Preserved
Whether you can or freeze the produce that you buy in bulk, you’re almost always going to save money compared to buying in supermarkets.

This is the most exciting announcement we have ever made:

On August 3, 2010, MOON Co-op signed a lease to open the
MOON Market at Tollgate Mall in Oxford. There will be plenty
of free parking adjacent to your store, which fronts a beautifully
landscaped courtyard between Capitol Dry Cleaner and Little
Caesar's Pizza. It is the former location of Mocha Joe's
Restaurant.

Please attend the Lease Signing Celebration
Time: Sunday, August 15, 3-5 P.M.
Location: At the store site, 512 S. Locust Street.

Current and propective MOON Co-op member-owners are invited.

On the Cincy Locavore listserv I spotted this question:

Hey Everyone,

I put a post on our blog today about buying local over organic when you have to choose. I thought folks on this list might be interested, and I wonder if people agree with my current assessment.

Here is the link.

Any comments - here or on the blog - would be great!

Thanks,

blueberry may be an accomplice in horrendous acts.
