Just a few more posts to go on our local crafters (if we missed anyone please let me know so we can make sure you get added).
It’s time of year already where we start thinking about seed orders. A big shout out to Ed Hamel who has agreed to coordinate the order. Please find a message from him below with all the necessary info to get you started!
FEDCO GROUP ORDER
FOR TREES, SEEDS, POTATOES, AND
ORGANIC GROWERS SUPPLY
By ordering with a group you can benefit by receiving a greater percentage off on your order, having the order delivered to the co-op at no charge, and supporting the co-op by sharing at least 25% (or more if you wish) of the discount with the co-op.
Please pay the whole amount (not the discounted amount) at the co-op for the total of your order before the order deadline listed below. When you pick up your order the amount of the discount plus out of stocks will be returned to you minus 25% that the co-op is asking as a donation.
Go to the division in which you are building an order, using the links in the page header. Log in using your own email address.
When you review your order prior to checking out, click the “Part of a Group” checkbox. Then go to “Check Out Securely” and type in the group order number where indicated. If you are prompted to enter a credit card number, stop. Back up. You did not choose “Part of a Group”.
You will receive a confirmation email at the address you used to log in. Until your coordinator finalizes the order, however, Fedco cannot confirm receipt of your order.

Note that the trees sale at the end of April and beginning of May will not occur in 2022.
Also the trees group order will have a $10.00 shipping charge from FEDCO. I will divide this charge up based on the value of the individual orders. If the total for the group is $200.00 and your order is $50.00. You will be charged (50/200) x 10 = $2.50

Next up in our list are our wide variety of Art and Stationary artists in the Co-op!
First up is Kim Jacobs from right here in Brooks. She has a variety of items with her artwork on the, from puzzles, calendars and books(and more). She also sits on our board and volunteers in the Co-op in many different ways. She’s dedicated a ton of time ensuring that the Co-op has continued to thrive!
Then we have items from Helena Malone, also right here in Brooks. These are cards that display some of the artwork that she does on hanging silks, scarves and pillows!
Next up is Louise Shorette right up in Jackson (she also does the Jewelry and Fiber Arts). She’s brought in items for a few years and she has great cards of butterflies to choose from!
Next up is Mulberry Marsh Designs (Meredith), she’s over in Jackson as well and does photo cards along with Fiber Arts which we’ll highlight in a later post!

First up are our local Jewelry makers, most of them within 10 Miles of the Co-op itself.
Maid In The Woods (Doreen) has been with us since pretty much the beginning of the Co-op and she has been making wonderful jewelry in Jackson for the that time. If you want to see what else Doreen has go and check out her thriving Etsy shop as well!
Oh My Goddess (Louise) started bringing things in the Co-op two years ago (she also does fiberart and cards as well, pics in future posts). She’s also not too far away from us right up in Jackson!
We have a mix of items from Lally Broch Farm in Frankfort, they do a bunch of soaps and other items that we’ll get closer pictures of in future but they also make Jewelry.
Then we have Viking Girl Designs by Shawna up in Jackson (I’m sensing a theme). She’s been with us for a few years now and has some wonderful pieces.
It’s that time of year again where we like to take the opportunity to put a spotlight on all the local crafters in the Co-op. Over the course of the next few weeks we’ll be posting about the different categories we have of crafts in the Co-op that are made by local people in our community! A big shout out first to the folks that worked on the wonderful display which is decorated completely by items found in the Coop.
