Summertime rolls...Jane's Addiction harmony in my head…read more On a holiday in the sun like Weezer in the lovely Pacific NW in the Summertime decided to do a yatra aka pilgrimage to People's Co-op. I lived walking distance from People's Co-op circa 2004 where I lived right across from the now defunct all vegan coffeeshop aka Red and Black. In 2004-2005 I was a working member cleaning the bulk bins as my seva aka service. This is where I first started teaching yoga at the community room upstairs at People's Co-op. Dusty started the program that sadly is no longer currently active. They had some great classes there and have fond memories of a Iyenger influenced yoga teacher that taught classes I liked. This was when I was teaching classical hatha yoga and had not yet shifted my yoga teaching to the Ashtanga Vinyasa tradition. Fast forward to the moment of Jun 20223. It's the return and went to People's Co-op. It still is an amazing place. They have a farmer's market here every Wed. Their bulk selection is amazing (see my photos) and so is there produce. Friendly and helpful staff. Afterwards go to Belmont for heaps of plant based, vegetable forward, tasty, amazing vegan restaurants and food trucks that are amazing. Vegan bars, vegan food trucks, innovative vegan restaurants like Fermenter, and more that will satisfy all folks who follow whatever diet from vegan to paleo to gluten-free to omnivore.

Who decided it was ok to put a milk container into a paper shopping bag on its side rather than standing up? When I got home, the milk had leaked (through both paper sacks) and by the time I got it into the house I had milk all down the front of my shirt and pants, not to mention a trail of milk on the garage floor, trunk of my car, and sandals. I had to change or smell like soured milk the rest of the day, not to mention clean up the mess! Seriously? Please train your clerks to NOT repeat this with another customer! On the good side, I will be back - I love the deli food selection and fresh organic produce.

Now that I live in Portland it's awesome to just visit the market to pick some up. Service-wise, they have always been kind to me and the shop has plenty of other bits and bobs to take a look at too. Now that I think about it, the first time I tried this salsa it was because there were some damaged containers they could not sell and a man was delivering them to one of the new seasons markets at the same time I was delivering a product from my place of work at the time. He was incredibly kind and offered me the salsa after assuring me the only thing wrong with them was some breaking in the packaging. I still associate the salsa with that act of kindness.

I can buy specialty items for recipes that I've put off making for years, because I didn't know where to buy certain items that were prepped. Like Artichoke bottoms! I'm ready to tackle some cookbook recipes that I've dragged my feet on forever. Where have you seen employees smiling lately? From the security guard standing bear the flower section. (Bouquets for less than $5!) And I was checked out by the sweetest, most charming, radiant cashier ever, 'Ray', you need to be cloaned. Every company, everywhere needs a 'Ray'. I can't wait to have more than 10minutes to shop, next time. If this food is right, I'll be back! I only went down four aisles. I think there should be more hand-held baskets near the other entrance/exit, if folks can enter where they please. Didn't like the panhandlers at the entrance of the parking lot. But, y'all kind to allow them there. Lots of checkout lanes open. Just a bit louder than I like, a bit chaotic with the narrow aisles. But, I'll be back, you may have a customer for life.
