Just to clarify for Dan if we do sell meat it will be only done based on a per-order and it will come frozen only for the customer to pick up. There will be no selling of meat in the normal on-the-shelf way. So you would not have to worry about buying something with meat / meat by-products in it - unless you buy pet food which we already sell! And yes, David we would only sell from local suppliers whose animals are grass fed and ethically treated. We already sell eggs but if we do decide to sell meat you will be able to come in year round and meat. So come visit and join us! thanks phoebe Hi Dan and David – thanks for your replies.

I buy these items at the Coventry farmers market in the summer but need a supplier for the winter months. Respectfully, David Krysiak I am not a member but I would like to see the coop sell

I like that fact that I can go in there and grab anything I want, and not worry about any kind of meat products being in it. I suppose if there was a restricted meat area where all of the meat products are, it might not be too bad. I just don't want to have to look at the ingredients of a can of soup and see if there is meat in it or not. I think that the CO-OP should not sell meat.
