NEW PRODUCER MEMBER WELCOME!

This order cycle, we welcome a new producer member, Cardo’s Farm of Ponder, Texas. They currently have available a variety of fresh greens and sprouts, herb seedlings, and free range eggs. They plan to be adding more produce items as the season progresses. Their motto is “all clean, all organic, all the time!” Please check them out.

HELP CHOOSE A LOGO FOR CTFC

CTFC’s long search for a logo is nearly at an end. Please help finish it by taking a look at the options and letting us know which ones you like best.

You can view the logo options online at crosstimbers.locallygrown.net/files/document/document/244/ctfc_logo_options.pdf

Then, send an email to info@crosstimberscoop.org listing your logo preferences from most favorite to least favorite. (One vote per membership, please!)

There are five options, each identified by a letter (A,B,C,D, and E). So, for example, if you like option C the best, followed by B, then E, then D, and you like option A the least, then in the body of your email, you’d list them like this: C,B,E,D,A.

These beautiful logos are the handiwork of Paula Brennecke. She exchanges her work on them for products from CTFC producer member Sloans Creek Farm. Sloans Creek proprietor Nathan Melson has been donating that product to CTFC via Paula to help with the logo project. So, a big thank-you to both Paula and Nathan for these logos!

THANKS!

We’re saying a special thank-you this time around to CTFC founding member Martin Wallace, who generously sponsored a 2-year renewal of CTFC’s web hosting services. Martin’s job took him away from us some time ago, but he’s still looking out for the co-op he helped to create. Thanks, Martin!
