We want to give a huge shout-out to our member-owners this week for participating in a food-drive to help fill the Liberty Pantry this week! We received donations from several members who found items to spare for their community members in need. π§‘π§‘π§‘
Little Free Pantries are popping up in communities all over the country to help remedy local food insecurity. Nicole and her sweet family have started one here in SLC right across from Liberty park. Neighbors give what they can, and take what they need. It's a wonderful example of community building and we are so excited that our membership could participate in this effort.
Make sure you are following us on Instagram to see highlights from us and the pantry for the week! Find us at @wasatch_coop @slclibertypantry
p.s. We have welcomed member-owner #660! Only 90 members to go until our next BIG milestone: signing a lease on our location! Have you told a friend about us?

Who is this adorable family you ask? Meet Rusty Monson, member owner #644 along with his wife Kimmie and charming girls Kate and Stella. We asked Rusty why he decided to invest in the #wasatchcoop this year. He shared with us his burgeoning passion for quality, local food, which started with a favorite author:
"Cooking [from scratch] is the single most important thing we could do as a family to improve our health and general well being" - Michael Pollen
"I didn't need too much prodding into the world of local produce and slow food, but Mr. Pollen definitely gave me a direction and more than a few mottos. I have become aware that in Utah we don't have a lot of options to purchase local produce aside from farmers markets that are open once a week. I then met some folks that wanted to bring a farmers market to Salt Lake that was open all week as well as the cold months. I was all about that life. [oh hi! that was us at the co-op! ππ]
To have a market like this in Salt Lake would be a massive step in the right direction. Not only does having stores such as the Wasatch Co-op help us eat better it also enriches our community. Perhaps more importantly, it helps us teach our children how to eat properly and having co-ops are a great teaching tool. I know that we can reach our next goal of 95 more owners so that we can get to the business of eating healthier and strengthen local farms and businesses.
As Mr. Pollen said "Eat food, not too much, mostly plants" and soon, with your help, we shall have a place that will make that a whole lot easier."
Rusty, thanks for sharing your enthusiasm and welcome to the co-op! #foodcoop #eatlocalslc
WHO IS READY FOR SPRING?! πββοΈπββοΈπ
Mark your calendars- the equinox is bringing the Super Worm Moon with it! Those worms start working that soil and we know what comes next:πΏπ·πΈπΌπ±
From the article:
"The night of the 20th will see the moon officially reach its full phase and be at its closest and largest for the month, delivering what has come to be known as a supermoon.
Because the moon's orbit is egg-shaped, there are times in the roughly month-long lunar cycle when it is at perigeeβits shortest distance from Earthβor at apogee, its farthest distance from Earth. If the full moon phase happens to be at the same time as an especially close perigee, then we get a supermoon. This cosmic coincidence has happened twice so far this year, and the third and final one arrives in March.
In addition, the March full moon is known as the worm moon in the Northern Hemisphere, reportedly because this is when the ground begins to thaw and earthworms begin to appear. "
Equinox supermoon, and more can't-miss sky shows in March

Look up this month to see planetary pairings, ghostly lights, and a special spring supermoon.
