Greetings on behalf of the Board of Directors of West End Food Co-op and welcome to our “official” weekly blog.
Each week those of us on the Executive will take turns bringing you up to date on developments with our project and upcoming events.
And we have two exciting upcoming events: first is the launch of our winter Farmers Market at Sorauren Park today at 3:00 – if you were feeling depressed about the end of the Market season for 2009 snap out of it, turn off that movie, jump out of bed and come down to the park to see what’s on offer. Second: mark your calendars for December 9 – we will be presenting the fabulous new doc Food Inc. (try googling this you will get a real-live big business food company!) with our friends at The Revue (another local, community owned enterprise).
More then two years ago now, a group of us from Parkdale-High-Park met to discuss the possibility of starting a locally owned and operated food co-operative. Word spread quickly and we soon had a core group of 8 people plus a list of more than 20 others who wanted to participate in some way....
