As part of the celebrations for organic week the Dublin Food Co-0p will be officially launching at it's new premises.For those of you not familiar with the co-op, it is the original organic food market. It has long been one of the best places in Dublin to shop for organic produce both fresh and dried. I was a member there for many years but have let it lapse since I have moved away from the city. Not only was it a great place to shop, I also enjoyed spending my Friday mornings volunteering with them.
A lot of the work in the co-op is carried out by members who receive a discount on their dried goods for the effort. The full or part time staff that run the coop are some of the nicest people you could met and it was always great to talk to them about recent developments in the organic and green movement. So it is with great pleasure that I see they have finally attained their goal of moving to a bigger and better location.
For those of you able to attend, the new co-op is being officially opened by John Gormley, this Saturday (20th October 2007) at 11am. It is based at 12 Newmarket, Cork Street, Dublin 8. They have a map on their website for those of you not familiar with the area.
Sadly I won't be able to make it myself, as always I will be manning my stall at the Naas Farmers Market.
