July 21, 2000--SuperMarket Coop e-Update
#2
**********
Project Update: We are
near the end of SuperMarketCoop.com's first week and have received
19 orders as part of our test market! The feedback I have gotten
from those participating has been incredibly helpful and I am
sure you will notice new changes and additions already. We will
continue the test marketing phase until we have reached 40 or
so orders and can better judge how the system is functioning
and how the shopping experience is for you, our supporters. In
addition, we will continue to offer you free shipping for orders
during this time.
Product of the Week:
Fall River Wild Rice--The California Wild Rice Growers Association
is the cooperative of farmers behind this Fall River Product.
They sometimes refer to it as the "caviar of grains"
and we hope you will find their highly nutritious product as
versatile as they do. Check out more information about their
products on their Web site, linked through http://www.supermarketcoop.com/superhome.htm
and find nutritional information and recipes. And remember "Wild
rice keeps in the freezer for up to 6 months!! Cook one pound
of wild rice and freeze it. Then add wild rice to everyday meals!"
Buy Wild Rice at
http://www.supermarketcoop.com/cgi-bin/miva?Merchant2/merchant.mv+
under the Shop by Coop category!
Next Week:
Look for a new HOME product, an organic fruit compote sweetened
with Maine honey, as well as more crafts from Maine artisans.
Thank you for your support
as we grow and build our project.
In cooperation,
