Live at the Big Top, Saturday June 26th at 7:00PM, the New Orleans Food Cooperative will be hosting a fabulous auction of art and exotic items of all descriptions. The auction will presided over by our own celebrity auctioneer, John Calhoun.

Come out to the Big Top (1638 Clio St) to enjoy a night of revelry and excitement to benefit Louisiana’s only Cooperatively owned grocery store.

Tired of meetings? Wondering where and when the awesome Co-op community will come together?

Well this is it!

The NOFC will host a social and informational potluck at Holy Angels Convent (3500 St. Claude) for folks to just come together and hang out with NO Meeting Agenda.

Come out and share delicious food and company with all kinds of folks from the co-op and the surrounding community.

See you there!

Hollygrove Market and Farm (at 8301 Olive St) has really been helping out the co-op by letting us table at their weekly markets and by providing a place where we can receive our buying club deliveries.

We are joining with them to have a big party this memorial day weekend with live music by Schatzy, grilled vegetables, and of course, the buyers club box of delicious local produce at the usual Saturday Market on the Farm from 10am to 2pm.

Come on by, enjoy the day, and support these two great local initiatives!
