The Coop Celebrates its Fifth

On Sunday, The Dixon Co-Op market celebrated its 5th anniversary with music by the Pathetiques (not officially the Pathetics, but pretty close), barbecue brisket by Preacher, cake, and other munchies provided by some of the stores suppliers.

Looked like everyone was enjoying the celebration. 

'Real Food' Challenge

Have any of you seen the CNN article of a food blogger who challenged the public to east real food ( i.e. un processed foods) for thirty days and then post their comments in a blog? I am doing the same by challenging all of you Dixonites to eat unprocessed foods for 30 days and post your comment on the Dixon Dallies. You can conveniently find raw, unprocessed foods at the Dixon Co-op.

The original food Blogger asked people to go through their pantries and throw out processed foods which are normally high in salt,sugar and other unhealthy additives. you are encouraged to do the same. I welcome your comments in this journey! Dan and I plan on participating in this experiment.

Wow, Barb--what a challenge!  Would this include food like butter, yogurt, good breads, tamari,  peanut butter, etc.? I've cut way back on manufactured foods with labels and packaging over the years but I'd be hard pressed to do without most of the above.
