Answering a couple emails about the Co-op

We have received a few emails recently from some folks that live outside the Buffalo area inquiring as to the status of the new co-op. We decided to give the new store a few trial days before checking it out from 'head of lettuce to sweet potato.' As we walked in this evening, the first thing that we noticed was the fresh outdoor display of hanging plants. The second thing that we noticed was the numerous amount of people scoping out the goods inside. So here's the deal. The food selection is top notch. The fruits and veggies look like they have just been picked from a neighborhood garden. The aisles are orderly and easy to navigate. Even with the numerous shoppers milling about, we never felt crowded... and that is really nice.

The ongoing theme continues to be healthy, environmentally friendly products. The selection of normally hard to find items is refreshing. From the organic green tea and lime conditioner to the Smart Dogs and the Silk Soy Latte, along with Amy's frozen entrees, not to mention the 19 cent ears of yellow corn. We were able to find all of the ingredients needed to make the perfect goat cheese feta, tri-colored pasta salad.

If there had been some cafe tables in the place we most certainly would have sat down to take in the fresh scene of this incredible new Elmwood market.

    Story Image Well it is Christmas time in the city and the NFTA helped put people and especially children into the mood in a very festive and fun way.

It always felt like we were going a million miles an hour. Then there was the ability to stand up and walk around during the ride without the need to be strapped down. It was always a fun time …
