On Thursday, June 12, there will be a charity fund-raiser for Northfield fifth-grader Logan Olivero at Papa Murphy’s in Northfield. Papa Murphy’s will donate 50% of all proceeds from June 12, to the Olivero family. There is also the opportunity to purchase peel-a-deal cards at the store. They are a $25 value for $5 and can be picked up any day at the Northfield Papa Murphy’s. All proceeds from the peel-a-deal cards go directly to the Olivero family.
If you cannot make it to the Northfield location, and one of our other locations (Eagan or West St Paul) would be more convenient, just bring in this message on June 12 to that store and we will donate 50% of your purchase. To help out with operations that day, phoning in your order by Wednesday, June 11 would be greatly appreciated.

Join us at the Just Food Event Space, 516 Water St. S., for a showing of the documentary Tableland. This hopeful film tells the stories of local food and the people connected to it. Traveling along with filmmaker Craig Noble, you’ll visit beautiful locations and hear from with the farmers, producers and foragers of vegetables, wine, cheese, beer, honey, baked goods, oysters and mushrooms. You’ll also meet the chefs and others who purchase these products, an act which in many cases has changed their relationship to their food, farmers and foodshed.
Brimming over with beautiful images and passionate language, Tableland is a celebration of food and the relationships that come out of sharing it. Make sure to catch the Tableland showing at the Just Food Event Space on June 17 at 7 p.m. Reserve your seat today by calling 507-650-0106

Did you know that less people give blood during the summer? What with all of our vacations, plus summer activity schedules to keep track of, blood donation tends to take a dip during the warm months. But the amount of blood needed does not go down.
Luckily, there will be a convenient blood drive at Just Food Co-op, 516 Water St. S. next Tuesday, June 24, from 1-6 p.m! But you’ve got to call 650-0106 or stop in at Just Food and make an appointment for one of the time slots available (every 15 minutes between 1 p.m. and 5:45 p.m.) so that you don’t have to wait in line the day of the drive. Give us a call today, and help save a life this summer.

The ArtOrg project called the "1000 Print Summer" kicks off this Saturday at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis. The big project travels to over one-dozen regional art centers and festivals over the course of this summer. During each event, a small steamroller is used to roll over inked-up blocks to make prints for kids (and even some adults). The kids create their own printing blocks, the blocks are inked up, placed in front of the steamroller, covered with paper and roller over to make the print. The hours of this event are 10am to 3pm on Saturday, July 5--we will be set up in the middle of the Walker Sculpture Park, and right next to the famous spoon and cherry! Check for more details here at the Walker website.
