Q. Please place the miso and seaweed on sale too! I've noticed less items on sale in the bulk area in the last year.
A. Good Idea! We're always looking for fresh items to put on sale.

Q. I love your gluten-free muffins and waffles.
A. Y-e-a-a-a-h!

Q. At night, weekends and heavy-use time, please place a sign to exit through the other parking lot, not re-enter the main lot and tie up traffic.
A. We are finding that people are learning to exit that way on their own.

Q. A co-op in Buffalo spent a ton of money on "upgrades" and now has a $3 million loan and has to charge way more for the food. A lot of people are unhappy with the prices and that most of it not organic. Hope it doesn't happen to you.
A. We are working diligently to ensure that that is not our circumstance.

Q. Will Polymeadows Farm add calorie content and other information on the container?
A. Polymeadows is small enough to be exempt from the requirements concerning calorie content.

Q. How about all café/deli food being organic?
A. We cannot always get organic ingredients for our recipes. Many of our salads are mostly organic. Several salads and soups are all organic.

Q. Nix canola oil for baked goods?
A. We've found canola oil to be the best choice for taste and cost for our baked goods.

Q. Please use non-white unbleached filters for coffee!
A. Our filters are oxygen whitened.

Q. Please make the café a cell phone-free environment!
A. We will craft a sign to encourage people to be courteous in the café.

Q. The Conacado event was great!
A. Cool! (See Fair Trade Report in this issue.)

Q. Put a sign at the entrance that says "Did you remember your bags?"
A. We'll do that.

Q. The café is for eating and socializing--not for bag sorting, which should only be in the warehouse area. Members who sort bags in the café take table space and make annoying noise.
A. We will attempt to steer our bag sorters to more appropriate areas.

Q. As of late there has been a huge increase in baked goods containing white flour and sugar. I know that they are easier to make and taste good, but you can also make healthier options taste just as good! Often there are none of these healthier options. Can you please bring back the healthier cookies and brownies?
A. We will work on offering more whole wheat in the mornings and our afternoon baking cycle will be primarily whole grains and vegan without sugar.
