Summer Recap 🌻
 
Spent the season eating more peaches than we can count, celebrating our birthday, and handing out community grants. BBQs, a trip to Linden Lane Farm for a True Local Spotlight, festivals, shade, water, and plenty of sun with the people we love.
 
Grateful for everyone putting energy into helping this community grow together. Thank you to BC Wildfire Service for keeping us safe.

It’s melon season at your Co-op thanks to Linden Lane Farms!

Today we got to spend the morning following Matt and the Linden Lane crew around the farm. Their passion and work ethic are second to none, and we can’t wait to share our conversations and footage with you. 

Until then... watch the melons fly!

Sip Happens 🍉

We made a pitcher of this for a porch gathering, and it disappeared before the ice even melted.

Watermelon, lime, mint, splash of soda. Fancy or not, your call.

Organization of the Month 🌿

This year, Kootenay Carshare Cooperative is celebrating 25 years of helping build a more connected, accessible, and sustainable community. As a member-owned co-operative, they've shown how sharing resources can strengthen communities while reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Throughout August, you can support Kootenay Carshare by making a donation at the till during your next visit to your Co-op. Every donation helps support their work and the positive impact they continue to make across our region.

Cold 👏 pasta 👏 salad 👏

When it's this hot outside, the only thing on the menu is something cold. This creamy Greek yogurt pasta salad is light, fresh, packed with the best of summer produce, and comes together in no time. Perfect as a BBQ side or a meal all on its own.

Good food, starts here🌾

We don't play about our True Local farmers during the summer months (or ever)! Local suppliers are at the heart of your Co-op, and summer is when the Kootenays' abundance is truly on display. When you shop with us, you're helping us invest in local farms, food producers, and our regional economy.

Because of your support as a member, we're able to direct more dollars back into our community every year. Thank you for helping us keep local food thriving.

Check out the link in our bio to learn more about our True Local program and how to continue making an impact 😊

The Building Blocks of Local Food 🧱
Kootenay Farms Food Hub is buying their building in Creston. Commercial kitchens, cold storage, processing space, giving East and West Kootenay producers what they need to work as one region instead of two.

Your Co-op just made its largest single donation ever, $10,000, to help them get there.

The Food Hub has already generated $1.6 million in regional economic activity, keeping that money and that food close to home. Owning their building means more funding, more room to grow, more security for the farmers and producers who depend on them.

They're still fundraising, open to businesses and individuals alike. Link in bio if you want to be part of it.

July Organization of the Month 🤝

This month we're supporting SKY Coordinated Response, a rural model that coordinates support for children and youth who've experienced abuse, without a single brick-and-mortar centre. Care providers across the West Kootenays work together so kids and families can get help close to home, wherever they live.

When you shop this month, you can donate at our tills or visit to learn more about their work.
