The Co-op Q&A with August Bridgeford

If you shop with us regularly, chances are you’ve met August, one of our two interim general managers. In our interview, we asked him about how he became interested in food co-ops like ours, and we learned about his community organizing work with our neighbors a few miles east on Fulton Street.

No-Waste Recipe: Vegan Carrot Top Pesto

One of the best things about shopping at the Co-op is that the produce is so fresh, and that you get to see fruits and veggies in their real form - stalks of Brussels sprouts, tomatoes still on the vine, flowering herbs and, of course, carrots with their tops still intact.

Spicy Coleslaw with Herbs

I tasted this flavorful coleslaw that a friend had made. It’s her own recipe, born from a love for herbs and a desire to retain the traditional creaminess without all the mayonnaise.

Farmer Hot Takes: The Skinny on the Co-op’s Eggs from Red Gate Grocer and Scenic Vista Farm

I don’t know about y’all, but I love a good egg. Hard boiled, scrambled, over easy, frittata, a benedict situation. If it has an egg on top, sign me up.

Simple Veggie Frittata

A frittata is such a versatile dish - it’s simple enough to whip up for breakfast or brunch, but elegant enough to serve for dinner, and leftovers are amazing for packed lunches (yay for meal prep!).

Cacao-Nut & Seed Bites Recipe

What’s your idea of the ideal snack? Hmmmm…..It should be yummy, of course. What else? For me, it should have a great texture, be healthy, and it should satisfy hunger, providing fuel for my day's activities. If it is a sweet snack, it shouldn't be overly sweet and, if homemade, it should be fun and easy to prepare, with lots of variations.

If you've ever enjoyed baked oatmeal, with a slightly crispy top and a soft, warm interior, you'll love this easy, portable spin on it. What I love about these breakfast treats is that they're healthy, they pair well with coffee, and once you make them, you've got breakfast for days.
