First Monthly DCO Potluck/Group Ordering Opportunity this Wednesday! (Oct 11)

Dear Past, Current & Future Co-Optioners,

We are holding the first of what we plan to be a monthly Potluck and Group Ordering Opportunity for current and prospective members. The idea is an event where folks can come together to eat/talk/order and cross-pollinate the DCO universe. It’s an opportunity for new people who may want to participate—but feel daunted to do so on their own—to be guided through their first order cycle; a place for members to meet in person and work out splits on the spot; a chance for everyone to become more connected with one another around a commitment to healthy food and local food resilience.

Please join us this coming Wednesday, Oct 11, at 603 E. Broadway, a forming community house. Potluck at 6 p.m. Ordering begins at 7 p.m. Feel free to attend either or both portions.

What to bring? For the Potluck: A dish to share (vegetarian/vegan only please) and your own plate/cutlery. We also will have some plates/utensils on hand. For the Ordering: A laptop, though there will be some to share if you don’t have one.

Please contact 603EBroadway@gmail.com or text 503-888-2934 for RSVP/event questions. Feel free to pass this information along to your friends—all are welcome!

In cooperation,

Rochelle Saliba

SnoPac is Back in October! OJ on sale.

It may not feel like it today, but autumn is here, cool weather is on the way, and it’s time for frozen foods to return to DCO product offerings.

As of today, SnoPac frozen fruit, vegetables, and orange juice concentrate have been added back to the 02 Local Wholesale Early catalog, and will be available for ordering when the catalogs open for Cycle 79.

Here’s an easy way to preview the products before the cycle opens: After you log in to the ordering site, type “SnoPac” in the Product Search box and press Enter. Then click the “Include Locked Sources” checkbox on the results screen. (Remember, this is just to view ahead of time to see what’s on offer. You won’t be able to place an order until the catalogs open.)

On sale in October: Orange Juice Concentrate is 10% off the regular price.
