Food Co-op Appears Certainty The first meeting of the North Fork Co-op was held last Monday evening Sept. 29 at the Black Mountain Library. Over fifty persons were present filling all the seats in the hall. The meeting consisted of a very represented cross section of the community with people from Swannanoa to Ridgecrest there. The meeting began with Ted Smith explaining some of the basic facts on Co-ops and how they work through the co operation of the various members. This work involves the buying and distributing of food and organizing work groups. Kate Doak then described some of the more specific duties of the members of the Co-op and the nature of the items that will be available for purchase at substantially lower prices. She said, “The quality of the food is just as important to us as the lower prices. Many of the dry good items will be organically grown.” When asked about the legal aspect of the co-op Kate pointed out that, “the co-op has received a retail license from the state and is in the process of attaining a priviledge license from the town.” Many questions and suggestions were made at the meeting. People were very excited about buying such a wide variety of foods at lower cost. Community spirit was obvious at the meeting and a feeling of involvement. People came to realize that they could begin to alleviate the current household economic problems and enrich their own lives through working together. The co-op will remain open to anyone interested in taking advantage of this unique opportunity. Application cards are available at the Black Mountain Library. A $3 membership fee for a family was agreed upon by the group and many be paid there also. It is very easy to join the co op and begin to order foods right away. Order forms are also available at the Black Mountain Library and must be filled out and returned there by Friday October 4, at 5 p.m. Food will then be distributed the next Tuesday from 4-6:30 at a convenient location to be announced. Each member is asked to work 2-3 hours a month. When one joins they are assigned to a work group. Some of the work can be done at home for those who find it difficult to get out. The Co-op is in need of several items if anyone can help them. They need a refrigerator, scales, large cutting knives, measuring cups, adding machines and a place to print, mimeo or duplicate the order forms. If any member wishes to bake bread to sell for the Co op, many members would appreciate being able to buy homemade bread or homemade jellies, jams and canned goods. Please find further in formation at the Black Mountain Library or address any questions to the North Fork Co-op Box 535 Black Mountain. If you know where any of the listed items can be found call 669-6661. The Co-op looks forward to becoming a growing part of our community and welcomes everyone to join.
