Newsletter

Every other month members of Mississippi Market receive by mail a copy of the Market Medley newsletter. Over the last year most issues have been 12 pages in length. There are several items common to each issue, including columns by the General Manager, Board of Directors and a nutrition story by a registered dietitian, Rebecca Schauer. In addition, we strive to run informative stories covering topics we believe to be of continuing interest to our member-owners, including these ongoing sections:

Community Cooperator, featuring stories relating to community building by our co-op, area ‘sister” co-ops, or any other local organizations. Many of these stories relate to upcoming events sponsored by Mississippi Market or other TCNFC stores.

Shopping Close to Home, most issues offer from one to four different stories on local food producers or natural product manufacturers. Local grower profiles usually include an interview with the farmer. Our emphasis is on sharing the type of information with members that helps them to make educated food choices and supports local family run farms.

Slice of the Season, this section often features seasonally topical content, such as backyard grilling tips for summer or holiday entertaining suggestions for the winter months. A steady feature is “Joe and Nick’s Produce Picks” a shopper’s cheat sheet for pending arrivals of fresh fruits and vegetables over the next two months.

Green Scene, we added this as a section for the 2005 Earth Day edition of the newsletter. Our hope is that we have enough content based on area environmental initiatives and eco-events that this will be a steady section throughout the year.

Staff Spotlight, this section highlights a member of the co-op's 100+ staff.
