Do you want some of this, Catonsville?
Sometimes it's just easier to express a concept with pictures rather than words. All of us learn in different ways, and there are plenty of visual learners out there. Given this, I thought it would be fitting to share some photos from yesterday, when myself and two other Catonsville Cooperative Market (CCM) steering committee members visited TPSS Co-op in Takoma Park for the Mid-Atlantic Food Cooperative Alliance (MAFCA) meeting. So, Catonsville, do you want some of this??

Local and regional foods and produce and seasonal foods are of great interest.
Less interested in nutritional supplements, beauty aids, and processed packaged goods, more and more of which are owned by international food and consumer goods conglomerates who barely meet organic regs. Extreme example: Walmart organic milk comes from Colorado and is delicious. Is dairy shipped 1666 miles better for you or the environment than a non organic but from a local/regional dairy farmers and producers?
Local is ultimately better for you, the local economy, and the environment.

JC - We couldn't agree with you more that the decision between local/regional and organic is a tough one during certain times of the year. We are committed to local/regional, but the great thing about a co-op is that it is owned by the community and the members will vote on important decisions such as this!
