CO+OP News:
Head to the locally owned Los Alamos Cooperative Market this week for everything needed for the perfect—and sustainable—Thanksgiving table.
All-natural and organic varieties of Mary’s free-range, non-GMO turkeys are available in a variety of sizes. The turkeys, which were raised by the Pitman family in California’s sunny San Joaquin Valley, were fed a vegetarian diet, did not receive antibiotics, and were raised without added hormones. The meat contains no preservatives.
Beeler’s hams (boneless or bone-in) also are available in spiral cut, halves or quarters. Both turkeys and hams are available on a first-come, first-serve basis—however, turkeys will not be available on Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 24, because the Co+op is closed that day.
“I want the staff to have more time with their families,” says General Manager Tim Morrison.
Members and non-members are always welcome to shop at the Co+op.

In addition to showing support for the Co+op by shopping in the store (thank you!), the Co+op would like to invite the community to participate in the Winterfest Light Parade Saturday, Dec. 3. As usual, Co+op board and staff members will push twinkling shopping carts down Central Avenue. Rendezvous by 4:45 p.m. at Canyon School. Whether walking with the Co+Op board and staff or simply spectating, the Co+Op looks forward to celebrating the season with the entire Los Alamos community!
