MRC Annual Meeting November 8th at 4:30pm at the Varney!
Hi Everyone,
It's that time of year again when the leaves are changing and the nights are getting colder. That means it's time for us to announce our Annual Meeting and Potluck! We'd like to welcome our members and community to join us for an evening of food and discussion regarding the Co-op (and some socializing as well hopefully). Everyone is welcome including non-members so that if they have questions about Co-ops we'd be happy to answer!

In that vein we'd love to recruit a few more willing folks to join our Board Of Directors. Our board works directly with our Manager to improve the Co-op and listen to our community. If you have any interest please either stop in the Co-op and ask or reach out to [email protected].

We'd love to see you there!

We Have A Street Sign!

It's been 12 years since we've opened our doors here at the MRC and throughout those years we've always talked about having some additional signage. Well, due to the hard work of a few of our volunteers this year we are one step closer to being more visible from Route 7! We were planning to have the sign completed for the Rt 7 traffic to Common Ground Fair but the DOT had other plans with the road closure...

Ahh well the best laid plans, we hope everyone has a great fair weekend and that you like our new sign(more changes to come)!

Contra Friday Tomorrow Sept 18th, Open until 8:30pm!

We've got some new items and vendors in your Co-op we are excited to tell you about!

First up is a new selection of spices from Gryffon Ridge(Produced in Litchfield). One of our members asked us to carry one of their MOFGA certified seasonings so it gave us the push to put a small selection on the shelf. If there is a particular variety you are looking for please let us know and we'll see what we can do.

Next up are a few Organic offerings from Red Duck, specifically their taco sauces and cocktail sauce. We've got you covered for your taco needs including local fresh tortilla from Tortilla Pachanga(Organic Corn and GF) or if you prefer hard shell we have corn shells from Siete Foods (GF, Non-GMO).

And finally we've decided to carry a small selection of folding furniture from Byers of Maine. While we love to focus on food it's nice to branch out a bit occasionally and try something different. And let's be frank everyone needs a seat occasionally!

A Big Thank You!

We want to make a moment to thank everyone that came out for our 12th Anniversary! And also to all the folks that worked behind the scenes to put it together and help day of. Light snacks, live music and animal adoptions all happened that day and the weather held out for us! So thank you again to our volunteers and community, we wouldn't be here without your continued support!

Contra Friday Tomorrow August 21st

It's Contra Friday tomorrow night the 21st of August over at the Marsh River Theatre. That means our doors will stay open until 8:30pm! It was great to see some new faces and meet some new folks who'd never made it into our little Co-op before.

Freezer Repair Fundraiser!

We're still running our art fundraiser to help with the cost of the recent repair of our new two door freezer. Did you know that all of the art on the wall are original works and not prints? Come in and check out the works of local artist of Jill Stasium!

Last music on the porch Marsh River Cooperative of the year! Come to Brooks, eat an entire bakery case Ralph's Cafe then head to hear some beautiful harmonies, amazing fiddle, guitar and bass playing while pondering what cheese and w**e you will buy. Cami Beth Jewett
