Last Day!

So today's the last day of the Eat Local Challenge. You did it! Are there any meals that you planned to have as your last local meal? Or a favorite that you're going to bring back? Let us know! Also, has this challenge now changed the way you eat?

Home Stretch

So it's the home stretch of the Eat Local Challenge and I must say that I am a little sad. This challenge has really opened my eyes as to where my food is coming from and the abundance of local products that we offer at the co-op. The only item I truly missed was Ranch dressing, but I really shouldn't be eating that anyway! I hope everyone has enjoyed their challenge, whether they were able to stick to it or not and I hope to see you at the picnic!

RSVP today!

Don't forget that all participants of the picnic are invited to join us for our Participant Picnic on July 19th at 5pm. Friends and Family are Welcome! Email april (at) tidalcreek.coop to reserve your spot today!

Eat Local Challenge Approved!

Today our Tidal Creek deli has prepared a special dish for our Eat Local participants! Barbecue Chicken wings with a side of Orange Poppy Cole Slaw prepared with local ingredients. The perfect Summer local dish!

Day 3

It's Day 3 of my Eat Local Challenge and I'm extremely positive! My belly is full and my wallet is happy! The past few days I have found myself actually grazing off of the items in my fridge instead of stopping on my way home from work to get take out! I also was lucky enough to find myself at the Farmer's Market this past weekend and I loaded up on green tomatoes!

The recipe is simple! I use flour and oil from my pantry reserve and local eggs. You slice the tomatoes. bread with flour, then egg, then back to flour and fry them up in a little under half an inch of hot oil! You can use a little corn meal or bread crumbs in the flour if you have it. Delish!!
