Letter to the editor: Shop local

The community harvest cooperative grocery (co-op) which has been started here is looking to provide you with locally grown produce as well as other items.

When I heard of it I planted more fruit trees so the fruit will go on its shelves and into your home.

How many of you know where the fruit and vegetables come from you get at Safeway or Fred Meyer? Did you know the eggs at these stores may be up to six weeks old by the time they arrive there?

Yup, I’ll be providing farm fresh eggs and I know others who also will.

What is needed is people to give Kathy Ursprung a call and let her know you would like to be one of the founding members so we have a strong base to get things moving ahead.
