Sierra Vista Food Co-Op — Local services in Sierra Vista

Well....I am not "into" Organic everything because I believe, strongly, much of it is misrepresented and, therefore, a rip-off. Neverthele@, if you want organic, vegetarian/vegan options, this is your store. Their produce is, usually, in good shape. Not as great a variety as at a supermarket, but still varied. Prices are HIGH on MOST items, so be prepared for that. But, for me, for certain things I want--for example, dairy-free yogurt. Which is delicious. I get at this store.

And oh, get me started on the staff, they are ah-mazing!!! Don't take my word for it, pop in for a visit and a...

I was quite disappointed this morning. I had locked my e-trike at the designated bike rack. Next to the bike rack was also the electric co-ops green rack. Then someone from the store asked if it was my bike. I assumed there was the usual interest in what an e-three-wheeler was all about. No, that wasn't it. I was told to move the bike because the store uses that space to keep outdoors its shopping carts. I did express my amazement that was the procedure. Sure, I moved the bike. But what message is being sent to customers about our choice to bike it? Where else were we to lock up our bikes? This entire experience was quite a stunner. In shock I went into the store and bought two items. I won't be...
