It’s the week of Thanksgiving, and we’re all poised to craft time with friends and family. Food will be prepared and ovens warmed as respite against the cold as we ease into fall weather - the sleepy cozy of winter already seeping in.
The seasons fold into each other much more quietly this time of year, and love is a particular focus: families--both of-origin and chosen--are so special in light of another pandemic year filled with its own challenges.
We hope that, wherever you are, we can help you craft a meal with those you love. There are still some turkeys left, and Field Day canned veggies are on sale, as are Imagine veggie and chicken broths. We have canned cranberry sauce and fresh cranberries in produce. Our veggies are here and ready for all your sides and additions. Baking ingredients like Wholesome Cane Sugar and King Arthur’s flours are key along with Let’s Do Organic coconut flakes and Dandies vegan marshmallows. Don’t forget to grab a few extra cans of pumpkin and some of our seasonal squashes.
We understand that crafting memories and resting from this year and the last one deserves good ingredients: we hope you’ll be able to lean on us for that!
As always, we’ll carry our local farms and brands: plenty of Creature Comfort beer, local wines, Luna bread, and local gift items.
Our hours of operation are the same except for the day of Thanksgiving (Thursday, the 25th); on that day, we’ll be open from 8:00 AM until 12:00 PM. Next week, our normal hours will resume: Monday - Friday, 8:00 AM - 8:00 PM and Saturday - Sunday, 10:00 AM - 8:00 PM.
Purchasing from the Daily Groceries Co-op will not only help us continue providing the goods we do, it helps us continue programs like Food For All and Wholesome Wave’s Georgia Fresh for Less program. If you round up for Daily Change at the register, you benefit the chosen recipient for the month: Athens Immigrant Rights Coalition. When you support your local co-op, you’re leveraging your purchasing power away from capitalist systems that degrade sustainability. With Daily, you’re supporting your neighbor and helping provide for a community.
Here’s to a good season! Happy November.
