The first step would be to ask the owner of that previous domain to A) sell/donate the domain to the coop, since it would work better for them than the blogspot address or B) get the .org owner to at least replace the old page with a simple redirect to the new blogspot address. It would take about two minutes and would solve the google search problem. I wonder how many interested folks the coop has lost because of that?

They should get with Google and make sure the new one is the first link that pops up when you search for "Idaho Falls food coop." I know some of the people organizing it and they're running into a lot of roadblocks opening. Hopefully soon, though! Ah yes, that looks more like it.

I rarely eat out and do the majority of cooking for our family. I always go to Fred Meyers for the freshest fruits and vegetables. They've got a much widerer selection than Wal-Mart, Smiths or Albertons. Plus they've got a nice selection or organic produce (as well as other foods) and fresh herbs & spices.

It won't happen in the near future though since WF requires at least a 200,000 local area population to allow a franchise. We definitely need more sources of quality produce. The garbage we get around here in the major stores is disgusting. I just saw another load of moldy, rotting tomatoes sitting on the shelf at Walmart today. It reminded me why I rarely go in there.

I'm still waiting to be contacted by the local co-op, I don't think they've even cashed my membership check yet...so I'm a bit concerned. But, I haven't driven by lately. Anyone know the scoop on where they are with regards to opening? I see some organic produce in almost all the stores now.

The Post Register had a nice story on it recently. I want to see them have goods for sale that I can't get elsewhere in town. I like ethnic stuff and funky flavors, etc. I'm sure sales items will be limited by considerations such as "green" plus things such as locally grown, organically grown, free range, chemical free meats, and fair labor/trade laws, etc. But I'm excited and I can't wait.

Do a google search for Eagle Rock Co-Op. Its down on 368 A St undergoing construction. Plus I think they have a blogspot page. The Idaho Falls Co-Op is underway so I understand.

I hope you had the homemade hummus from my kitchen! It is such an easy recipe, we make it all the time. In fact you can see lots of people making hummus on youtube. Sorry I have not heard of anything with the COOP since the Taste of Idaho. The Pocatello Coop should be opening by the end of next month. Good for them! Jono I am so excited that you are coming to our area. My husband and I are raw foodist and are wanting to get something going here as well. I just visited an amazing Raw restaurant in S.F. It was incredible. Everyone I was with (not all raw foodist) were very impressed. Andrew, thanks for stopping by the booth. I hope you had the homemade hummus from my kitchen!
