It’s official…we are moving in!  If you have time, a truck or trailer, two hands, a big heart and want to have some moving fun then be sure to take part!

On that note, we could really use YOUR help with the following:

Friday (2/3/12) night fun (beginning at 5pm):  Join Amber’s basement crew to scrape floors, sweep, mop and paint!  (240 Court St.)

Saturday (2/4/12) fun 9am – ??:  Meet Amber & Tony again at 9am at the current site (542 1/2 Plumas St.) to get our office and backstock areas moved over.  Please come ready to pack boxes and move!  If you have a truck or vehicle good for moving that is great :)

ALSO, AT 12:00pm on Saturday (2/4/12) in front of the new store the Reno News and Review is going to be taking pictures for the story that they are doing on the co-op’s opening next week.  We would like to fill this photo with our awesome member-owners!  Please come down for this photo even if you don’t have time to come at any other point.

ALSO ALSO on Saturday (2/4/12), Join Jana Vanderhaar for an Saturday Edible Garden Workshop/work party at the new site (240 Court St.) from either 9am – 12pm or 1pm – 3pm

Our co-op is now just a couple of weeks away from our hopeful soft opening on Friday February 10th, 2012!!  Everyone involved has been hard at work installing the kitchen grease interceptor (last photo on the bottom right), the earthen cobb tree (last photo on the top right), our local handmade registers (middle bottom pic), painting our murals (left bottom), installing the irrigation system for the edible landscape plan (top left) and our massive coolers in the basement for Northern NV’s first ever regional local food distribution center (middle top)!!!  Click on images below to see more moving pictures.

It seems like the momentum and excitement is growing just as fast as the project expense list for miscellaneous items.  In order to get through final days and finishing touches that we need to complete this stage of our new co-op, we are calling upon our members and the community at large to help us find some of those tangible items.  Please take a look in your garage, your neighbor’s garage, you favorite local thrift store, habitat for humanity, craigslist, etc. and help us finish our community store by donating any of the following:

1. Baskets for the produce area (funny, quirky, vintage, normal, whatever…)
2. An iPad for our Local Farmer Wholesale Distribution and Ordering Center (DROPP)
3. Used Washer and Dryer
4. Counters for the break-room area (6 ft x 2 ft deep)
5. 10 ft of Cupboards
6. Metal lockers 12-24
7. Meeting Table 9 feet long
8. Chairs for our community cafe area
9. Dishes, silverware, cups and/or mason jars for the community cafe

If you are able and/or willing to donate any of the above items that is great!  Or, if you have time to hunt for these items that is great too!  We DO NOT want folks to just start dropping off a bunch of items at the co-op.  Please send pictures, descriptions, or links (cragslist) to Amber Sallaberry – amber@greatbasinfood.coop.  If you are interested in receiving a tax deductible donation receipt for your goods please be sure to include a receipt.

Thank you immensely…we are so close!

1 E. 1st Street, Reno (public parking garage next to CityHall)

PLEASE READ THIS VERY THOUGHTFUL LETTER IN OPPOSITION TO THE REZONING BY A VERY DEDICATED GBCFC CO-OP MEMBER-OWNER & LOCAL FOOD ACTIVIST:

It’s Not Local Food without Local Farmland and a University Agricultural Program to Back It
Farming in America is at a turning point. Rapidly rising global food demands, spiking food and fuel prices, and the ever-present threat of development are pressuring our farmers to squeeze the most out of their land or else leave.

We have been supporting our local farmers by buying locally at the Great Basin Community Food Coop and local farmers markets. We have joined CSAs and bought meat form local ranchers. We even go out to eat at local restaurants that are buying for local farmers.

The next important step to support our local farmers is to join efforts to protect the little farmland we have left in our community, such as the UNR Main Station farmland off McCarran and Mill Street. According to American Farmland Trust, we’re losing 2 acres of farmland to development every minute. The farms and ranches that supply local markets—those closest to urban centers—are the most at risk. Do you, as a community member, want to see the last remaining farmland in Reno turn into another box store development?

What’s unique about the 104-acre farmland is that it holds the floodwaters in times when the Truckee River overflows, thereby providing an important ecological function to filter the water and fertilizing the land. It functions as grassland for the research and teaching performed by the Rangeland Management program at UNR. It also provides a much-loved historic view corridor to the Truckee meadows, telling the story of why this flat, fertile land functions well as farmland and was chosen as such by pioneers. Shouldn’t this historic, agricultural and ecologically significant land be preserved for future generations?

The 104 acres of farmland that the UNR has annexed to the City of Reno is up for rezoning at the next City Council meeting, Wednesday, December 14h, at 6 pm. As a community, we are asking the City of Reno to postpone decision on this rezoning request. We ask UNR to work with us to develop a long-term sustainable plan for the entire farmland area at the Main Station, so that it can continue to provide the important flood acreage for our community, maintain the space for our land-grant UNR College of Agriculture, and preserve the last of our urban farmland, that speaks of the past and promises the future potential of our local food security.

With our combined vision, we can help keep agriculture viable in our community to continue providing the delicious foods, economic benefits and improved environmental quality we’ve all come to enjoy.

Sincerely,

Jana Vanderhaar, concerned citizen

Nevada Department of Agriculture, Conference Room
405 South 21st Street, Sparks

Please plan to attend a meeting of the CABNR Advisory Board/Stakeholders for Wolf Pack Meats and the Main Station Farm. This is a CRITICAL meeting as the UNR Administration and a developer propose to take the most fertile land of the Main Station Farm and develop it into offices and homes. Please forward this to interested parties.

If you support sustaining Northern Nevada’s only full process slaughter, cut and wrap facility please come to this meeting! Wolf Pack Meats processes for five (5) of the six (6) local ranchers your Great Basin Community Food Co-op buys from. Buying meat from local producers ensures good raising practices. Your food co-op visits all of our ranchers to make sure their animals are raised in open pastures, fed grass or other high quality non-GMO feed (especially for pork), and free of added antibiotics and hormones. With only 4 major agro-corporate companies owning the majority of meat production in America, it is increasingly important for us to support and buy from our local ranchers. Over 70% of Nevada’s agriculture is alfalfa and beef…which the majority of is shipped out of our state, sold as stock, or fattened up in the Mid-West on GMO corn and soy, antibiotics and hormones (all of which have been proven to contribute to making people sick and an increase in weight when consuming these products!!). Not to mention the process requires a hefty amount of non-renewable energy inputs…shipping 1,000+ lb animals back and forth across the country!

If you eat meat but haven’t given it much thought, NOW IS THE TIME or else we risk using the only processing facility in Northern Nevada which allows local ranchers to sell to YOUR co-op! Sure, everyone is selling grass-fed beef these days but NO OTHER RETAIL STORE in Reno is SELLING NEVADA BEEF!! If the University of Nevada-Reno President, Marc Johnson cuts Wolf Pack Meats from the budget it will greatly impact our community’s ability to purchase local meat in anything smaller than a 1/4 cow at a time! People may think it’s no big deal now, but we do not want to wait until the USDA stops subsidizing the commercial meat market and we have to pay the real price for poisoned meat in America…or we continue our trend for the last few decades and allow big agro-corporate farms to put every small rancher out of business until we have NO ACCESS to fresh, high-quality, local meat.

For the past several years the GBCFC has been a means for local restaurants to order and buy local produce at wholesale prices.  The produce department sends out bi-weekly lists of local produce availability to interested restaurants, institutions and our members.  To the best of our ability, we include the product description, the quantities available and the pricing  The current size of the store is too small to store any produce for an extended amount of time.  In the past our space restrictions have been a hindrance to the amount of local produce bought by local restaurants as they must pick up the food soon after it is delivered or it will perish.

DROPP’s goal is to help build the local food infrastructure in the region and to connect farmers to restaurants and institutions.  The team behind DROPP believe that if we can eventually travel the food shed and pick up from farmers and make deliveries to restaurants that this will dramatically decrease the time and fuel costs for farmers.  This way they can provide the most wholesome fresh food at the fairest price.  The GBCFC currently buys from over 50 local farmers and producers and as the store grows and the distribution, more are on the way.

For the past several months the GBCFC has been aggressively meeting with restaurants to let them know the value of buying locally produced goods which promotes stewardship of our watershed, uses less oil to travel, is fresher and supports a local economy.  The GBCFC currently distributes to about 12 local restaurants and has a list of over 60 that it will visit in the near future.

The GBCFC has already started working with a delivery company to make things easier for busy chefs.  Until the GBCFC gets into the new space, orders must be picked up close to the time of delivery.  The GBCFC is in pursuance of a refrigerated, health department certified delivery truck that it will use for in town deliveries for restaurants.  This way farmers can drop off in one central location and not have to spend their afternoons driving around all over town.

For more information on the Web-based and iOS software system, please contact Manny Becerra. For the latest developments on DROPP, please contact the manager of DROPP, Elias Dechent.

Special Orders

If you can’t always find what you’re looking for at the co-op consider placing a SPECIAL ORDER with any one of our organic & natural food distributors.  Not only does it save you money but placing bulk special orders often decreases the amount of packaging that comes from buying smaller retail sized quantities.  Visit the Special Orders page view the UNFI special order catalogs, sign up for the weekly local farmer list, and to learn more about placing special orders at your food co-op.

GBCFC on the Move Update #1

It’s mid July and the great news is that we have collected about 95% of the member loans that were pledged to the co-op in order for us to undertake this big expansion moving project.  We have hired a General Contractor and have lined up all of the folks who will be doing sub-contract work like plumbing, electrical, HVAC and more.  The mechanical HVAC (heat, air conditioning) side of things took quite a bit longer than we had anticipated and therefore we are going to have to push the moving schedule back a bit.  Our original goal was to open doors by September 1, 2011…we are now looking at the month of October (if we’re lucky and can really move things along quickly).  The outside electrical wiring will be completed by the end of this week and the exerior stucco and new tiles should be on the building in the next 2 weeks.  The upstairs add ons to level 3 are complete and so is the outside balcony seating area!

In addition to all of the wonderful construction movement, we are excited to announce that the Great Basin Community Food Co-op has just received a grant from the Nevada Department of Agriculture that will allow us to host outside edible urban landscaping demonstrations.  All of the outdoor planters that you see at the new co-op site at 240 Court St. will be filled with herbs, greens, fruit trees, squash, berries, and more!  Be sure to stay tuned for these upcoming edible landscape workshops from our local food committee.

Our Finance committee, staff and new board members feel very happy about the fact that we collected over 95% of the loans that were pledged to us.  However, in order to make sure that we have a “healthy cushion” of funds for the move we are seeking additional member loans to cover the percentage of money that we didn’t collect.  If you were thinking about making a loan to YOUR local food co-op, NOW IS THE TIME :)  We are accepting loans from our members ONLY at a minimum of $1,000 and a maximum of $50,000.  The loans are repayable in either 4, 5, 6 or 7 years at anywhere from 0-3% (you choose).  For more information about the member loan drive process or to receive a copy of the Member Loan Prospectus please email: finance@greatbasinfood.coop.

Join us tomorrow for the co-op’s annual membership meeting/potluck party at the River School!  Its the funnest co-op event of the year and we will be able to celebrate all of our co-op’s wonderful recent achievements)

Here’s the line-up:

• 6:00 – 7:00 p.m. POTLUCK
• 7:00 – 7:30 p.m. NEW BOARD NOMINEES AND VOTING
• 7:30 – 8:30 p.m. SQUARE DANCING W/LIVE BAND
• 8:30 – 9:00 p.m. MOVING UPDATE COLLAGE AND VIDEO (OUTSIDE)
