SuperMarket Update #39--5/25/01
**************
A quick thanks to those
of you who have looked through the site and helped me edit some
spelling and links. It is hard to see everything and I appreciate
the attention.
I am pleased to announce this
week the newest section of the Web site, the Recipe of the Month!
http://www.supermarketcoop.com/recipes.htm This is Liz Clasen's
first official published web page and the beginning of great
things to come.
We became aware with the last
CSA box that we were not including as many vegetarian recipes
as other, so Liz focused on a Wild Rice Cranberry Salad. If you
have your own favorites, we would love to include them within
the site. The plan is to build a wide range of recipes and then,
potentially publish them in our own SuperMarket Coop cookbook!
I have yet another exciting
announcement. We have finished the process of selecting the new
name for the Virtual CSA. Using the following criteria:
--Easily understandable, concise, no jargon
--Marketable
--Communicates small farm products (not just food, or produce)
--Membership connotation, indicates a relationship
and after examining all the
proposed options and feedback we received from
participants, staff, board and friends we have chosen...
Small Farm Connection: Delivering
Rural Community Products and Perspectives
Directly to your Door.
The Small Farm Connection
will officially begin in October when the pilot phase of the
Virtual CSA wraps up. The pilot has already begun to provide
us with the information and evaluation to build the Small Farm
Connection. For example, quarterly sign ups, packaging suggestions,
vegetarian recipes. More information on this process will be
coming.
- Finally, I wanted to point
out a new Mexican product, Hand-crocheted bags!
These unique bags offer a variety of uses. Though they can be
used as small purses, gift bags, porpourri holders, wall hangings,
or wine bottle holders. Each bag has hand-crocheted edges and
has slightly unique design. They measure approximately 8.5 inches
by 11.5 inches.

Thanks again for the responses.
Have a wonderful holiday weekend!
