What’s New in Produce?
About the Produce Department
At Harmony Natural Foods Co-op, we provide you with the freshest, highest quality produce available. Our commitment to sourcing a wide array of organic, local, and seasonal options allows you the opportunity to experiment with creative new dishes or to perfect long-standing family recipes. The Produce Staff is happy to answer questions and provide the cooking and nutritional information you’re looking for.
Harmony is also one of the largest suppliers of local produce in Northern Minnesota, drawing from a wide variety of growers which include small-plot gardeners, family-run farms, young emerging ‘farmers-in-training’, and local Certified Organic farms such as Farmucopia. Harmony’s commitment to strengthening and diversifying our regional food system is contributing to the increased production of sustainably-raised, non-commodity crops in the region which means you will be able to continue to shop for nutritious, local foods for your family for years to come! Keep looking for the Locally Grown signs throughout the Produce Department for the freshest produce our community has to offer.
Special Orders: Contact our produce department about special ordering large/case quantities of local, organic, or specialty produce for juicing, canning or preserving.
On October 28th the membership gathered at the United Methodist Church meeting room. Harmony’s staff prepared a fantastic tex mex dinner for our owners and it was a wonderful chance to see familiar faces and a few new faces as well. Board treasurer Mary Overlie led a great discussion on ways Harmony could strengthen the community’s connection to local and organic foods prior to the start of the official meeting. The question is also posted to Harmony’s Facebook page so if you have some ideas head over to FB and post on our wall.
Harmony’s Frozen Department received quite a boost from the expansion. The new freezer units are beautiful, huge and easy to use. It was even easier to fill them up with all of our already popular staples and the great suggestions from our very involved shoppers!
