Why a blog?
Our Facebook page and website offer two perspectives of who we are, but I felt that our ongoing story needed to be told with words and images in yet another way.
When?
I will be posting 2-3 times a month.
What do I have to say?
Well this will unfold organically, but here are a few thoughts as
we begin:
1. "Our co-op story is really YOUR story?"
By this I mean that Clipper City Co-op exists to bring the
community together. As a democratic organization our owner/members ARE the
Co-op. So, this blog will
tell many stories.
- Who is growing and producing food?
- What are the needs of our families and individual
- Who are our community members?
2. Love of Neighbor:
Local support of our neighbors will enhance our local economy and
our individual well-being at the same time.
- Who are our neighbors?
- Why might it make sense to buy a locally produced bar of soap, or bag of greens, rather than one produced by a large corporation in some far away place?
- How can we do this together?
3. The Food Movement:
There is positive change in the air! OUR health depends on
taking control of our food.
- Who is making this happen, and how can we take part?
Who am I?
Jill Iverson - A founding member of the Clipper City Co-op Steering
Committee and I will be the voice of the blog, but will encourage others to
write stories or share photos.
Feel free to read my bio on the Clipper City Co-op website for more information, but in a nutshell I am a foodie, a
chef, a lover of community, a gardener, a long term co-op owner/member, a
mother of two sons, a wife, a sailor, a veteran, an artist, and most
importantly, I am YOUR neighbor. Thanks for taking the time to look in.
Yours in community,
Jill
