Paso Food Co-op made it’s 2021 debut at the Paso Robles Farmers Market, May 22! It was a beautiful sunny day with a steady stream of shoppers throughout the event. Four Paso Food Co-op Owner-Members shared the story and the mission of the Co-op while handing out printed information and answering questions. We had scrumptious mini chocolates generously donated to our Co-op by Equal Exchange for such an event as this. (Equal Exchange is a for-profit Fairtrade worker-owned, cooperative headquartered in Massachusetts.)

Co-op Owner-Member, Arthur Monahan, grabbed one of our Co-op Yard Signs that says, “I am a Proud Member of the Paso Food Co-op” and slowly walked the market as a moving advertisement. Several people asked him “what is this Co-op?” Thank you, Arthur! Several curious people took printed information with them, and (drum roll please!) we gained a new owner/member! HURRAY! Please stop by and say hello if you are already an Owner-Member. We would absolutely love to meet you! Until then ... keep spreading the word.

Note: If anyone out there has a pop-up canopy you would love to donate and is in decent shape we can send someone to pick it up!
