On September 15th from 7pm-9pm I will be holding a meeting at the Connections Building (off the parking lot at the Bellingham Food Coop) where I'll be showing the documentary film "Why in the World Are They Spraying?" about toxic chemtrails being sprayed on us from aircraft. Chemtrails are being sprayed for purposes of weather modification, ostensibly to "stop global warming", and for population control purposes. I'll also be discussing natural ways you can protect yourself from the toxic heavy metals being sprayed on us. Please see my announcement posted at http://transitionwhatcom.ning.com/events/john-hammell and please alert more people! The toxins being sprayed on us include aluminum, barium, strontium, arsenic, mercury, iron, zinc, and antibiotic resistant bacteria. This is killing trees, plants, has made the soil 20x more alkaline, and has resulted in 20% less sunlight. This must be stopped! Come learn how you can protect yourself, and how you can alert more people! If you can help with the event, please email me at jham@iahf.com or call me at 1-800-333-2553 H&W

Dont forget this Saturday (Dec 17th) is the TW Community Shopping day. A portion of sales will be donated by the Coop to TW.

If you are interested in pulling together for some bulk buys, just leave a comment here as to what you are interested in buying and we can create some bulk purchases.

Hi John - it's best to contact a Co-op manager directly regarding questions directly involving our stores - this group is not monitored by Co-op staff/management (except by myself and another staff member on the MAC) but is an off-shoot of our Member Affairs Committee (MAC) to provide a forum to discuss topics directly related to Transition Whatcom. 

As an aside, we actually do have flyers available at the Cordata Co-op Wellness dept right now about the FDA NDI Guidance, and they have been sent to the Downtown Wellness manager as well and should be available very soon (the Cordata manager will follow up with them this week).  Thanks for your work in this area!

I would like to see the Community Coop start passing out flyers in the store to oppose the FDA's NDI Guidance Document since it threatens to nuke our access to dietary supplements back to the stone age. Last time I was in the store I was told by staff that this "could not happen". This policy is beyond myopic, its downright stupid, delusional, and seriously out of touch with reality. If the Community Food Coop doesn't start doing the right thing and oppose FDA's NDI guidance document and other health freedom issues, I am not going to renew my membership and I'll strongly recommend that others in my Chapter of the Weston Price Foundation do the same. Please see this alert http://ymlp.com/zKHqHq I generated via IAHF and please take the recommended action to stop the genocidal killers at the FDA!

Sign up for free health freedom alerts at http://www.iahf.com, a double opt in email distribution list. I've been figthing FDA professionally since 1989 and was the first to ever call attention to the UN Codex International Threat to Health Freedom via an article in Life Extension Magazine in 1996.

Delete Comment Hey food security people, I have held off as a lot of you were busy with planting and then harvest...I assume things may have slowed a bit by now. I would like to start planning a Whatcom Food Security Summit for January or February. My goals at least, would be to get these food security efforts, groups, organizations, etc. together to assess the current situation, and see where there needs to be more support and where there may be complete gaps. Any of you interested in being on a planning team for this?

The 40th anniversary party and member appreciation day at the Cordata store is Saturday from 1 to 4pm. Swing by for some tasty morsels, freebies and the opportunity to tie-dye something for free. Info on the Co-op's Facebook page.

My favorite farm is Terre Verde because I met the farmers at Kulshan Land Trust class and appreciate that the couple is growing food for us entrusted an shared by the community.
I personally struggle with the differences between operations and vision of many co-ops. Often perfectly aligned and sometimes not. We are large an contain multitudes.
