YFC is Getting Famous!

Posted on May 12, 2012 by Tom

A great article about your Co-op is up on the website ThurstonTalk.com

Here’s an excerpt from the article:

The New Vision

The Co-op used to be a member-owned organic food store; however, the Board of Directors had a bigger vision: “to move toward food sovereignty,” said Bill Wyman, president of the board of directors. You see, they’ve been completely dependent upon corporate transportation to get the groceries to the store; they want to create food sustainability “by creating an internal web of locally harvested food and educational programs that will teach a new generation to be food smart and operate at a profit.

You can read the whole article and lots of other good stuff on ThurstonTalk.com

You can be a part of this great cause – become a member, become a Working Member, be a dedicated shopper, and give us your ideas of how we can improve the Yelm Food Co-op!
