4. The board reviewed Wheatsfield’s National Co-op Grocery (NCG) Participation Report for 2020. We were grateful to see that Wheatsfield had strong metrics and performed better than many other food co-ops during a volatile year with the pandemic. We continue to be appreciative for the incredible agility and dedication of staff in navigating operating the store during the pandemic and for shoppers in choosing Wheatsfield during this time.
5. Coffee with the board will be held this Saturday, June 19th from 11-1 pm outside the front of the store. We look forward to seeing you and sharing samples of local Picket Fence ice cream!
