SUGAR BEET FOOD CO-OP TO OPEN
FRIDAY JULY 31! 
That's right. Open for business. It's happening.

We cannot wait to share the amazing harvest of summer with you beginning 
Friday, July 31.  Consider this our "soft" opening.  
No marching band or crazy crowds. We want to celebrate YOU, our supporters. 
Our opening weekend will be an opportunity for you to explore YOUR co-op, meet local farmers and producers and TASTE lots of delicious food. 

Co-op member-owners will receive special discounts  and can pick-up 
their owner cards at the store this day and any other after July 31.  

Not an OWNER yet?  Well, it's not too late... (it's never too late).  Now is the time, though. Join us before our opening day- we need your support! Join here- online.

See you soon!
