NEW! Wanstead Grain Text Updates
As Wanstead Farmers Co-operative continues its quest to get timely grain marketing information out to our farm customers, many producers have inquired about our ability to text our market commentaries and bids. Although we are limited by characters in what we can text compared to email, we are planning to start to send condensed text updates at midday in lieu of the traditional midday market emails (leaving the morning and closing commentaries via email).
Beginning April 15th, it is our intention, on a trial basis, to send out our midday commentary by text ONLY. We are also looking at using texts to communicate any grain prices/specials that might be being offered as well. If you wish to join our text updates list, please text GRAIN to 519-800-0436. You can opt out at any time.
Wanstead 100th Anniversary
Thanks to everyone who showed up for cake and a social on Monday for our 100th Anniversary! It was great to see so many faces! We are looking forward to celebrating with everyone on August 17th! For any history buffs, did you know that Wanstead has documented the Co-op's history over the past century? On milestone anniversaries, books were published to commemorate the highlights of that era. John Turvey has been compiling the latest edition of the last 30 years which will be published ahead of our August Anniversary Celebration. In the meantime, we have added all the history on our website for our members to check out!
